efile a 2020 1065 amended return

Can I efile a 2020 1065 amended return from Turbotax Business desktop version? The IRS instructions say I must efile the amended return if I efiled the original return. The onscreen instructions in Turbotax Business tell me to print the amended return.

You may e-File.

Paper filing of amended returns is still available.

I amended the return in TurboTax Bus and am ready to file. When I select efile, the software says there is no return to efile. Do I need to do something else? Thanks.

I have a similar problem.  I efiled the original 1065 for 2020 and need to add some deductions so I went through the entire process and produced the amended return but TT will only let me print the return not efile it.  IRS says I have to efile if I efiled the original.  How can TT make such a blatant omission?

Only a 2021 amended return can be e-filed.   An amended 2020 return must be filed by mail if you are using TurboTax.   Only some paid professional tax preparers who have professional tax software can e-file an amended 2020 return.

IRS requires the amended 1065 to be sent to the same location the original was sent.  The original was efiled.  I see that I would normally send to Ogden UT based on the company information but I hesitate to do this since it may just go to purgatory.  Do you know otherwise?
