There may be a few options available to you but more details would be necessary before advising you which might be best. I recommend speaking with a tax attorney. Most of us offer a free consultation. Just stay away from the places you see advertised on tv.

Q: I filed my taxes using TurboTax's free online service. Is there a way for me to "cancel" my filing and re-do them?

This may be software specific, but I do not believe you can "cancel" your return. You may need to amend if your return has already been e-filed and processed. However, if for some reason your return gets reject you may be able to make changes and resubmit.
