The 1040x you will need to amend your return is available, however, you will have to wait until your original return has been "Accepted" by the IRS "Refund" sent if a refund is expected. At that time you can amend, print, and mail in your return. (Available amend date February 9, 2018)
Helpful Tips To Amend
-
Prior to amending, e-filed returns need to be accepted and the tax due must be paid or the refund status is Refund Sent. Pending or rejected returns cannot be amended.
- Federal Amendments (1040x forms) cannot be E-filed. They must be mailed to the IRS.
- Most State Amendments cannot be E-filed (must be mailed). State Amendments can be E-file for New York and Vermont.
- Amendments can only be completed in TurboTax Online and TurboTax Desktop (Not Mobile).
- Watch for the refund meter – it will zero out when you begin to amend only showing the difference between the original return and the amended one.
