Hello Recently filed Federal and VA state return. We received email it has been accepted by Federal but not State yet. We left out one W2 and needed to amend. I went online and amended return. Is there way to submit Amended return to both Federal and State??

Please advise!!

If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

See this TurboTax support FAQ on amending a tax return originally completed and filed using the 2020 TurboTax online editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-do-i-amend-my-turbotax-online-return/01/27577

The IRS Form 1040-X for amending a 2020 tax return is scheduled to be available on 03/25/2021 (subject to change)

If you accessed the 2020 tax return that was filed and made Any changes, please remove the changes you made. The 2020 tax return has to be exactly as filed before you amend the tax return.

If you e-filed the 2020 tax return then you should be able to e-file the 2020 amended tax return, Form 1040-X.

Since the Form 1040-X will not be available until 03/25/2021 your state return should have been accepted before that date. If the amended federal tax return is changed then you may also have to amend the state tax return that was filed.
