Why is TurboTax not allowing me to Efile amended 2020 return even when IRS clearly says I can efile amended 2019 2020 returns?
i get an error message that the efiling was closed in October 2021. That is not correct as per IRS
i am being asked to print a 165 page document and sent to IRS!!
why did I pay for premier when basic functionality is not provided
also the only reason I have to Amend is because i realized that TurboTax completely messed up my k1 calcs

The 2020 federal amended tax return, Form 1040-X, cannot be e-filed using the personal editions of TurboTax it can be only be printed and mailed.
Some professional tax preparation software can e-file prior year amended returns.
The only forms that are filed with an amended return is the Form 1040-X and any federal forms and/or schedules that were actually changed by the amending along with any corrected W-2's or Form 1099's received.
The original and amended Form 1040 are Not filed nor are any worksheets or pages that are for information only.
Sorry Turbo Tax only lets you efile the current year amended return.

So I need to file 1040x and k1 I guess. Main change I did was released passive losses on PTp that I sold previous years
Thanks for the info as I need to file an amended return too.
That sucks Turbo Tax. As a long time user, why can't we file if the IRS allows other tax software to e-file? I am disappointed enough to research if the other competitive software have that same limitation and would consider a switch.
@gmunny Only a 2021 amended return can be e-filed. Certain paid tax preparers who have professional tax software can still e-file an amended return from an earlier tax year. You are free to seek paid tax help if you want to e-file instead of filing by mail.
