I try to file an amended return (1040X) for 2018 that I originally e-filed on TT using the desktop edition. I got the depreciation and loss carryforward wrong for one of our rental properties on Schedule E.
When I open the original file on the 2018 software, I can click the "amend return" option and TT DOES reset the return to $0 and tell me "we will guide you through the amendment".
BUT, then there are only very limited options to amend things, like a W2, Tuition, 1099 MISC.
The only way to get to the "Business" and then "Rentals" area is to ignore the amendment choices offered by TT and go there manually - using Form view to actually change the numbers. TT DOES recalculate the difference between the original return and the return with this change BUT I can not find any form 1040X being generated for me to print and mail...
What am I missing?
Go to Open Form in the top left and select 1040x. Be sure to enter a description for the change. You will want to mail it with tracking to ensure safe delivery of your personal information.
Please:
