Question

How do I file a custom (i.e. upload PDF) amended Tax Return through TurboTax? (The TurboTax wizard won't let me amend a Schedule H, for some reason.)

When I originally filed my Tax Return through TurboTax, I filed a Schedule H, which later turned out to have an error. I attempted to use the Amend Tax Return workflow in TurboTax, but the Schedule H was not one of the forms allowed for correction.

I manually filled out Form 1040-X and a corrected Schedule H (i.e. I have PDF copies), but the IRS website says to "Contact your preferred tax software provider" in order to file electronically. (Tax software providers seem to generally require that you used them for the original return, so it seems TurboTax may be my only option.)

If you can't amend with Turbo Tax then mail the 1040X you manually filled out.

That's certainly an option, but one I'd like to avoid. Are you saying that it's not possible to do this with TurboTax, and you don't know of any way to file this with other software?

It's not possible to e-File 1040-X with TurboTax after Oct 15.

 

Note: if no dollar amounts are changing you can leave 1040-X Lines 1-23 EMPTY.

Just explain why you are resubmitting Schedule H in 1040-X Part III.
