1040X for 2020 - When can I eFile via TT?

I've prepared my 1040X - it is ready to submit.  TT will not allow me to eFile it.

 

I'm assuming TT can't accept it since IRS eFiling has not started.

 

What DATE will I be able to eFile my 1040X?

*** Correct Answer:  You CANNOT as a regular user of TT eFile an Amended Return. ***

 

IRS now accepts eFiling for Amended Returns.  The catch is it must be filed by a Practitioner registered with IRS.  As a regular user you cannot eFile - you must print it out and mail it in.

 

I think IRS is missing the boat here.

TurboTax has ended all e-filing for 2020.  You will need to print and mail your amended return.
