Can I cancel or amend a pending return?
by TurboTax•331• Updated 1 month ago
After you select Transmit Returns Now, your e-filed return goes to pending status, until it's either been accepted or rejected by the IRS.
- Find out if you even need to amend.
- Check your e-file status. It usually takes 24-72 hours for your return to be accepted by the IRS.
We recommend that you wait to file your amendment until you have received your refund, or at least three weeks from the date of payment of taxes due.
If your return was rejected, you can’t amend it, because it’s not in accepted status. Just reopen your return, make your changes, and re-submit it.
