I have TurboTax 2024 premier desktop edition. I may need to file amendment return for the current year(2024)? Questions are:

(1) Can I e-file both federal and CA amended return via TurboxTax premier desktop?

(2) Is this totally free ? If not, what is the fee TT charges me?

 

Thanks.

    Correct.  You should be able to e-file your amended returns for free.  There are some people, due to the changes that end up needing to print and mail their returns, but in general you should be able to e-file.

    You should be able to file an amended return for free if you filed with a paid version of TurboTax.

     

    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

    Select your product below and follow the instructions.

    Thanks CatinaT.

     

    I filed my original return via TT 2024 Premier Desktop version several weeks ago . Both IRS and CA have processed my original return successfully.  So you meant I can now e-file both Federal and CA amended return via my TT 2024 Premier Desktop version for free, right? Thanks again.
