I originally filed my 2021 taxes with a CPA who I am no longer with. How do I amend that return with Turbo Tax if it wasn't originally filed through Turbo Tax? I do have the 2021 software. If I redid my taxes using the software for 2021, how would I file it as an amendment?

CAN I USE TURBOTAX TO AMEND IF THE RETURN WAS PREPARED SOMEWHERE ELSE?
If you did not use TurboTax to prepare your tax return, it is possible to amend the return using TurboTax but it will really be a pain. It would be better to use the software or service used to file originally. If a paid preparer made a mistake on your tax return, that tax preparer should do the amended return for you at no charge.
In order to use TurboTax to amend your return, you need to purchase the desktop software for the tax year and re-create the return EXACTLY as it appeared when it was filed with the IRS/states. Every line has to be the same. Then you have to "trick" the software into thinking you filed by saying you will mail the return. (but do not mail it) AFTER that, you use the software to prepare a Form 1040X, which has to be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS. It takes the IRS about 6 -9 months to process an amended return
Thank you! My previous tax preparer has not responded to any emails/phone calls regarding the amendment for the whole year. I'm forced to do it myself now.

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.
