Current year's tax return filining timing after 1040X

[hongy]

Hi,

I have a question about filing the current year's tax return when 1040X is still in process.

If 1040x changes the tax due/refund in the previous year and still to be processed,

what amount should I input in the current year's tax return?

Original 1040 amount or 1040x amount?

Should I wait 1040x is processed before filing this year?

Or just use the original 1040 figure and file this year before deadline?

Maybe I can report the difference in the next year's tax return?

You enter the AGI from the original 2018 return to efile 2019.  Other than that there shouldn't be anything on the Amended return that goes on 2019.  Why did you amend 2018?  What difference do you need to report?

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry it was the state return which asked me about the 2018 tax due.

I just filed 1040x and want to wait to file states amendment till 1040x is processed.

So I have not filed state amendment yet.

But the turbotax screen on the 2019 state section showed the amended tax amount of the state instead of the original.

I am thinking that I manually correct the auto-input figure to the original figure...
