If you need to amend your state tax return only, select your product below and follow the instructions.

  1. Sign in to TurboTax and open your return.
  2. On Tax Home, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you want to amend.
  3. Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online.
    • If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop below instead.
  4. On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your 2024 amended return, select The IRS or state sent me a notice (this will allow you to amend only your state return without making changes to your federal) and Continue.
  5. On the next screen, select Something else and Continue.
  6. On the screen Tell us which 2024 return(s) you want to amend, select 2024 state.
  7. Continue until the Let's work on your state taxes screen. Select Amend next to your state return, and continue through the screens to make your amendments.
  1. Open your return.
  2. Under Need to File an Amended Return?, select Amend a Filed Return.
  3. Select Amend for the return you need to amend.
  4. Select Continue on the We’ll help you change (amend) your return screen.
  5. Select Yes, I’ve already filed my return.
  6. Choose the option that best applies when asked Tell us a little more about your amend situation and Continue.
  7. On the next screen, select Update next to State Return.
  8. Continue through the screens to make the necessary changes to your state return.

Processing times for amended state returns vary from state to state. If it's been more than 12 weeks since you filed your amended state return and you haven't heard anything, we suggest you contact your state tax agency.
