I am retired. Have no income beyond SS. Says Fed rtrn must be mailed. State rtrn can be e-filed. Can't finish and close out rtrns. Just recycles state id & fed fix pages

I can't add interest income to my return.  I don't even get that option when trying to amend.

If Social Security benefits are your only income, you have no taxable income (at least on your federal return). The IRS does not allow e-filing of a return with zero income. If you want to e-file, add $1 of interest income to your return. Then your income won't be zero and you will be able to e-file. You won't owe any tax on the $1 of income.
