How do I cancel or undo an amended return in TurboTax Desktop?

by TurboTax123 Updated 2 months ago

If you started amending your federal return and would like to cancel the amendment, follow this process:

  1. Under Do you need to change anything else? select Never mind, I don't need to amend.
  2. Alternatively, you can also exit the screen without saving the amendment.

State Amendments

The best way to "unamend" your state return is to go through your state return from the beginning and keep your eyes peeled for amend-related screens or questions.

The amend question usually appears right at the beginning or towards the end of the state interview (never in the middle).

Correct any entries that have to do with an amended return, for example:

  • Answer No when asked if you want to amend.
    • However, in a few state programs, you have to answer Yes to the amend question so you can revisit the screens that contain the information you want to delete.
  • Clear any amend-related checkboxes you see.
  • Delete entries in the tax year field.

If you still can't get rid of your state amendment form, try clearing your state return and starting over.
