I did file my federal taxes 2 months ago and then and have received a refund but owed 580+ to state. When I updated the turbo tax software I am now getting money back. I received a 1099 for income i did not know to include on my federal taxes. How do I handle this?

  Hi Brad.
  If I understand your question, you filed your federal return and got your refund, and filed and paid your state taxes. Since then you updated your tax return adding another Form 1099. Please clarify if I didn’t understand your question.
  As your tax returns are already filed, you will need to amend both original tax returns. But you will need to do two things to straighten this out:
  First, and importantly, restore your TurboTax tax return contents to as close to exactly how you filed your tax returns. The amended tax return must start with the returns As They Were Filed!
  Then start an amended tax return, which must use IRS Form 1040X. For more info, see this amend article, https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894381
  An amended return shows your original numbers in one column, and the added/changed items in a second columm. Be sure to verify everything is correct. When you finish making your changes, the amended tax returns must be mailed into the IRS and your state.
  If you are sure the amended returns do not result in additional taxes, or they owe you money, it won’t matter if the amended returns are completed after April 15th.

I am trying to enter info from a schedule of form into my MN M1M form, but there is no way to enter..specifically into m1m line 4 and line 8. I am thinking that I will have to prepare mn taxes by hand rather than using turbotax.
