I am trying to amend a 2018 return and when I do it says that the 1040X isn't ready yet but will be available 3/6.  It's 3/15 and it's still not ready.  How do I amend a return?

      You will not be able to amend your tax return until it has been accepted by the IRS.  Please see the below FAQ for more information on amending a 2019 tax return:

      My return was accepted about a year ago now.  Note I said a 2018 return NOT a 2019 return, your answer should be removed.
