I'm attempting to amend my 2023 federal return but before even getting started, TurboTax is saying that my state return is owed more money? What?

Make sure to follow these steps when amending the return.  If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

• You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
• You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
• Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
• The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
• Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
• You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
