How do I prepare an amended return for 2020. What Turbo Tax screen do I have to get to?

I assume I should not go to my original 1040 on TurboTax.  I bet I need to start all over from the beginning.  Anybody know the answer?

You have to start with the original return so be sure to save a copy of the original before you amend.  You need to download the .tax2020 file from online to amend on your computer using the Desktop amend program.
