I am ready to print my amended 2020 return. I think I have to mail it in. Is that correct? Also, I already paid for Audit Defense when I filed the original return and now it wants me to pay again. What can I do?

No, you do not have to mail your 2020 Form 1040-X, Amended Tax Return. Just follow these instructions.

For years prior to 2020, you'll need to print and mail your amended return.

I get this when I'm in TurboTax 2020 and trying to efile the amended return:

E-filing is Closed for the Season, You Can File by Mail
You can still file this return, but you'll need to walk through printing and filing by mail.
TurboTax e-filing closed for the tax season on October 15, 2021. Learn More

@Barbara471 We regret to inform you that the Help Article referred to in the prior post contained information that was only valid last calendar year. Since we are now in the 2021 tax filing season, TurboTax is no longer capable of e-filing a 2020 amended (or initial) return. We do apologize for the confusing messaging that suggested otherwise.
