Electronically filing 1040X.

[bcelani]

I tried to e-file an amended 2019 Federal return today and got the same date error I've been getting for months. Today was supposed to be the day the IRS accepted amended returns. Did that change?

Thanks.

I doubt they know. It says it is supposed to be out now on the 26th (today). I have a feeling it will be the same for tomorrow. When i filed originally the automatix w2 thing wasnt working so i manually entered and somehow it registered that i had entered $10,000.00 more than I had actually earned.

I tried to efile amendment 1040x today too and received the same error.  looks to be that turbotax is not yet ready to e-file any amended taxes yet.

thank you for the info HeatherPLO.  I had found the forms for admending taxes, 1040-x.  that wasn't the issue.  the issue was electronically filing these tax amendment forms, 1040-x after I had already electronically filed my tax return.  The IRS allows for electronically filing the amended tax form 1040-x starting in 2019.  however I don't think TurboTax has been able to efile any amendment forms after taxes has been efiled.  If you have please let me know as what you sent did not rectify the issue.  thank you

Due to the passing of the American Rescue Plan, there is a delay with the ability to amend returns. Please see the below TurboTax Help Article for more details and a link to sign up for an update when the amend option is available. 

Why can't I amend my return?

Do I need to have one of the paid versions of Turbo Tax in order to submit a 2019 1040X electronically.  The software is not giving me a submit option

[MichelleLO]

Only the current year (2020) 1040-X can be e-filed. Previous year's amended returns must be printed and mailed. Please see the below TurboTax Help Article for more information:

I did not file in  year 2019, however I did use 1040SR for year 2020 . Your wording is confusing. Is it either or referring to filing in 2019 and 1040 SR?

Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

The IRS has started to accept electronically filed Forms 1040-X. Currently, only tax year 2019 Forms 1040 and 1040-SR can be amended electronically. Additional improvements are planned for the future. You can still file a paper Form 1040-X and should follow the instructions for preparing and submitting the paper form. For more info, see irs.gov.

I need to file a 1040x electronically for 2019 with a form 982.;

How can I do this using Turbotax???

@Stine007   It is not possible to e-file a 2019 1040X.   Only a 2021 1040X can be e-filed.   It has to be filed by mail.  Print, sign and mail it.   Do not expect quick results.   It would be a good idea to use certified mail so you will get a receipt and confirmation that it was received.

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return.  During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns.  Do not expect quick results from amending.  When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check.  They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns.  You can watch for information here:

An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
