Amended Federal Return

I need to amend my federal return due to receiving student loan interest statement late. When I go online to do that, I follow the steps but it won't let me complete it without filing my state return and I don't want to file my state return through Turbo Tax. Can someone explain how I would complete the amendment?

Follow these steps and it should work -

If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back.

You'll have to wait until your return is either accepted or rejected.

If rejected, you can make any necessary changes.
If accepted, you'll need to amend your return.
To avoid unnecessary delays, do not amend until your original return has been fully processed. You will need to print and mail the amendment.
Allow 8-12 weeks for processing.

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.

I don't even know how to print it. It doesn't give me that option.
