How do I amend my federal tax return with TurboTax Business Desktop?

by TurboTax•22• Updated 3 months ago

If you want to change or correct some info on a tax return after you've filed, you may need to amend your return. The IRS gives you three years from the date you filed your original return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment. Here are three things to do before you begin:

  1. Make sure you really need to amend.
  2. Wait until your return has been accepted (or mailed if paper filing).
  3. Use the same TurboTax account you used to file your original return.

You must use the edition of TurboTax Desktop for the year you're amending. For example, you must amend your 2024 return in TurboTax Desktop Business 2024.

  1. Open TurboTax.
  2. On the Work on a Tax Return screen, select Amend a Return.
  3. Select the return you want to amend.
  4. On the Filing an Amended Return screen, select Yes.
  5. Continue through your amended return, making any changes as needed.
  6. When you reach the File tab, continue through the steps to e-file or print your return.
  7. Save the amended return for your records with a different name than your original return.
  1. Open TurboTax.
  2. On the Work on a Tax Return screen, select Amend a Return.
  3. Select the return you want to amend.
  4. On the Amended Return screen, select Yes.
  5. Select the tax year that you would like to change.
  6. Proceed through the rest of the amended return, making any other changes as needed.
  7. When you reach the File tab, continue through the steps to e-file or print and file your Form 1120-X.
  8. Save the amended return for your records with a different name than your original return.
  1. Open TurboTax.
  2. On the Work on a Tax Return screen, select Amend a Return.
  3. Select the return you want to amend.

  5. Select the tax year that you would like to change.
  6. Continue until you reach the Done With Amended Return screen.

  8. Save the amended return for your records with a different name than your original return.
