How do you efile form 1040x  2020 using the Turbotax PC download version?

@stephenwu An amended 2020 return can only be filed by mail.    You cannot e-file an amended 2020 return using TurboTax.   Only some paid tax preparers can still e-file an amended 2020 return.   

 

 Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

 

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:

You can amend a 2023 tax return at any time.  However, if the 2023 amended return has a tax refund the you have to file the return on or before April 15, 2027 to receive the refund.
