Why can't I edit or review sections after submitting?

Modified on Thu, 11 Dec, 2025 at 3:59 PM

In general you should be able to edit and review sections while you are working on a return. Once a return has been submitted, it is locked and cannot be changed. At that point you must create a duplicate return if you need to correct or amend anything.


Details

• Before submission, sections stay editable.

• After submission, the original return is locked.

• To change a submitted return, use the duplicate and amendment approach described above.

• If you cannot edit a section before submission, it may be a bug and you should contact support.
