EXACTLY where on Desktop Premier 2025 is "Amend a return after it was filed and accepted by the IRS"

I want to amend my 2025 Federal Return. The Intuit instructions for TurboTax Desktop say: "Under Need to Amend a Filed Return?, select Amend a Filed Return."

 

Where in the menus and interfaces is the prompt, "Need to Amend a Filed Return"? It is not on the home screen or any File tab or screen, as far as I can tell.  Help does not help. Please be painfully specific. Walk me like an idiot to the prompt.

 

I use the Premier 2025 desktop version, if that matters

Continue the tax return that needs to be amended.

 

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home & Business)

Click on Other Tax Situations

Under Other Tax Forms

On Amend a return, click on the start button

To amend a return prepared using desktop Premier----

 

Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Tax Forms>Amend a Return

 

 

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

When you open the desktop software, don't open (Continue) your return.   Scroll all the way to the bottom left corner of that screen - you will see the blurb you referenced above.   I will put a screenshot below.

And FYI -  You might first have to tell the program it was filed and accepted.   If you efiled you have to check the filing status inside the program. Open your return and go up to menu item


File > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status

Then save your return with the status. Go to File-Save. Oh and be sure to save your original return with another name so the amended return doesn't overwrite it and you can start over if it gets messed up.
