Hi guys.. I have 3 questions:

1) Can I take a 2020 tax return done on TT online and amend it in the TT desktop version? Can I e-file it too?

2) Can I e-file a 1040X on freetaxusa.com with a 2020 return done on turbotax online?

3) Is the IRS accepting e-file amended 2020 returns?

#1 Yes you can move your online return to the Desktop program to amend. But I don't know if you can efile it since it's not from the same account you efiled the original return. But why don't you want to amend in your Online account?

To continue in the desktop version see this…….

#2 don't know

#3 don't know when. But if Turbo Tax has the 1040X available you can probably efile it.

Because turbotax online messed up my return big time.
