Amend using efile

[John731]

Have tried numerous times to amend using efile but still tells me to file my 1040X using paper. I did notice that TurboTax has not put a date of me receiving my tax refund. It shows up with the IRS but not with TurboTax. Could that be the issue?

Do not amend until your original return is completely processed.

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted, you should follow these guidelines. 

• You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. 
• You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. 
• Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.  
• The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due 
• Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending. 
• You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment

TurboTax is not going to "put a date" for when you received your refund---TurboTax never knows when or even if you received your refund.   TT gets no information from the IRS after the IRS accepts your return.
