The following may help:

 

State Amendments to remove:

The best way to "unamend" your state return is to go through your state return from the beginning and keep your eyes peeled for amend-related screens or questions.

 

The amend question usually appears right at the beginning or towards the end of the state interview (never in the middle).

 

Correct any entries that have to do with an amended return, for example:

  • Answer No when asked if you want to amend.
  • However, in a few state programs, you have to answer Yes to the amend question so you can revisit the screens that contain the information you want to delete.
  • Clear any amend-related checkboxes you see.
  • Delete entries in the tax year field.

If you still can't get rid of your state amendment form, try clearing your state return and starting over.

Click on Cancel Amend on the left side of the online program screen when you are signed onto your account and accessing the 2020 tax return.
