[Sexygranny5]

I need to amend my federal tax again

[JohnB5677]

If you mean you filed your return and need to add additional information, then you will have to prepare an amended return in TurboTax.

If you used TurboTax Online, simply log in to your account and select “Amend a return that was filed and accepted.”

If you used our CD/download product, sign back into your return and select “Amend a filed return.” You must file a separate Form 1040X for each tax return you are amending.

No your software made the mistake not me. Turbotax needs to man up to there mistake and do something about it. If  I need an amend turbotax should do it right for nothing

What documents are needed to submit a claim

To amend your return, wait to see if your return has been accepted or rejected by the IRS or state. If rejected, you can correct and re-send your return. If accepted you should wait until your return has been processed and you receive your refund or confirmation that any tax due has been paid. If you file an amended return while your first return is being processed it can cause extended delays for both returns if two returns are in the system at the same time. In addition, if the IRS makes any change on your original return, you might end up having to amend the amendment. Amended returns can only be mailed - allow 8-12 weeks - can take up to 16 weeks (4 months) for processing.

I filed single instead of head of household. I have been divorced for 15yrs and should have been filling Head of  household.

[VolvoGirl]

Do you have a qualifying child?  If you entered a dependent it would have automatically switched you to Head of Household if you qualify.

Here's a FAQ for Head of Household

Who is a qualifying person for Head of Household

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/family/help/what-is-a-qualifying-person-for-head-of-household/00/2...

[MayaD]

To file as head of household, you must:

• Pay for more than half of the household expenses
• Be considered unmarried for the tax year, and
• You must have a qualifying child or dependent.

If you already filed your return, you need to amend it to change your filing status:

Wait until the IRS either accepts or rejects your return. 

If the IRS rejects the return you can claim the deduction in the Deductions and Credits section and re-submit your return. 

If the IRS accepts the return, wait until the return has been fully processed and then amend the return.

To amend your 2020 return:

1.Log in to your account.

2.Scroll down to Your tax return & documents (you may need to select Show),

   select 2020 and then Amend (change) return.

3.Select Amend using TurboTax Online.

4 Follow the instructions. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal on amended returns.

5.You can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail.

To change your filing status, return to the My Info section of the program then on the Personal Info Summary page, click on the pencil next to your status.

My taxes say i had a business of my own which is not correct at all.

[SusanY1]

Do you have income reported to you on form 1099-NEC?  If you do, then this essentially creates (for tax purposes) a business.  

If this is not the case, can you provide some more information about what you are seeing or the question that you have so that we can further assist?

CPP benefits  line 11400 is 13,135.20  it  should be 6,446.88

[613-477-1434]

CPP benefits  line 11400 is 13,135.29 and it should be 6,446.88 . this makes my income higher than my husbands. we have a split income

I filed my tax return for 2020 with turbotax already but forgot to claim the recovery rebate credit because I never received my money from the first stimulus.

I checked with the IRS and their records show that a payment was mailed 

On November 27th. 2020 

But I never received it.

[DanaB27]

If you received Notice 1444 in the mail but have not received your payment as mentioned in the notice, then you need to request a trace to be able to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return. Please see How do I request a payment trace to track my first or second Economic Impact Payments?

If you did not claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on line 30 of Form 1040 when you filed your original return then you will have to amend your tax return once your original return has been processed. Please see FAQ How to amend a tax return for instructions.

If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back. 

You'll have to wait until your return is either accepted or rejected. 

• If rejected, you can make any necessary changes. 

• If accepted, you'll need to amend your return.   

• To avoid unnecessary delays, do not amend until your original return has been fully processed.   

• You can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail. 

• Allow 16 weeks for processing. 

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending. 

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.
