Question

Completed of current tax return (status filed, which I needed to print and file by mail and haven't done so yet) but noticed an error. Should I start an amendment? Or?

I (thought) I completed my current return and hit file. I later noticed an error when I downloaded my completed forms. I chose to mail in my printed return and haven't done so yet. Since the status of my return on TurboTax is now "filed", I could not make any change to the return. What are my options? Should I start an amendment (which seems complicated since I haven't even mailed in my return yet)? Or is there another options?

Do not click on anything that says "amend." You do not "amend" a return that has not ever been filed. Click on Add a State---that trick will let you go back into the software to make changes--and you do not really have to add a state return. Make the changes you need to make and then either print it again to file by mail or e-file.

What if I already completed an “amendment” in TurboTax… and right now the amendment status shows as “ready to print”…

Can I still go back into the return by adding a state and redoing my original return since I haven’t mailed either the original or the amendment? My return has to be filed by mail and I did not choose efile.

I clicked on “amend” by mistake
