Some TurboTax customers have underpaid their federal taxes due to an error with their Long Term Care (LTC) insurance payments. 

If we notified you, we recommend you submit an amended federal tax return as soon as possible to avoid additional penalties and interest on the unpaid balance.

To correct your return, please follow the steps below:

    • Enter “TO CORRECT FORM 8853” as the reason for amending.

  • Follow the instructions provided by TurboTax to efile the amended federal tax return and pay the balance due. 

  • Save a copy of your amended federal tax return for your records.

If you have questions, call 844-333-2161 (Monday–Friday, 5 AM to 5 PM PT) to speak with an expert. Mention 2024 Long Term Care Insurance so they know what you’re calling about.
