Could not e-file an amended 2024 tax return in Mid November. Message just said that filing season was closed October 15th. Can I e-file this at a later date?

Am I stuck with printing and mailing a lot of paperwork or will I eventually allowed to e-file my amended return at a later date.

E-filing is permanently closed for 2024 returns.   You can file your amended return by mail.   Print it, sign and dat it in ink, and mail it in an envelope.

 

Only certain paid tax pros  using professional tax software can e-file past year amended returns. You cannot e-file an amended return that you prepared yourself using TurboTax.  Your 1040X must be printed, signed and dated in ink, and then you need to mail it in.  Use a mailing service like certified mail so you will know the IRS received it, since you will have a long wait for it to be processed.

 

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
