Yes, you can still make changes to your return after paying the program fees, as long as you haven’t filed the return yet.
Paying your fees does not lock your return. Before you submit it to the IRS, you can go back and update information, correct mistakes, add forms, or remove schedules as needed.
What You Can Do Before Filing
Before you e-file or mail your return, you can:
- Return to any section of your tax return and update your entries.
- Add or remove tax forms and schedules.
- Review your completed return by selecting Summary/Print from the left-hand menu and then choosing View Return to generate a PDF copy of your return.
Note: If you haven’t your preparation fees paid yet, you’ll be prompted to do so before viewing the full PDF of your return.
What Happens After Your Return Is Filed?
Once your return is filed and accepted by the IRS, you can no longer make changes in the original return.
If you discover an error or need to update information after your return has been accepted, you may need to file an amended return. An amendment allows you to correct information on a previously filed tax return and report any changes to your tax situation.

Will My Progress Be Saved?
Yes, if you haven't paid your preparation fees yet, you can still save your progress and continue working on your return later.
How Saving Works
- Your progress is automatically saved throughout the Federal section of the program.
- If you're working in the State section, continue through the state interview to ensure your information is saved before logging out.
- If you're completing a specific form or screen, select Continue to save your entries. Logging out before selecting Continue may cause any unsaved information on that screen to be lost.
You can sign back in at any time to pick up where you left off and continue preparing your tax return.
