If your return is accepted you will get an email. If the return is rejected the e-mail will tell you what to correct and you can make changes before e-filing again. Amend to change an accepted return after you get your refund. Instructions below

It wouldn't have let you put Head of Household unless you qualify.  Did you enter a dependent?

 

You should not amend until the first return has fully processed and you get the first refund or your tax due payment has cleared.

I send my return on 2-05-24. I put on there head of household by accident. How can I change it to single and re send my return.

Unless you had a dependent, you could not be able to file Head of Household.

But if you did, this is how to Amend your tax return.

 

If you want to make changes, or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted you should follow these guidelines.

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. 
    • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
    • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
