Do you happen to be using a MAC? If so, you will need to paper file your Amended Federal return.

There is a workaround. Would you be willing to try this workaround for testing purposes? It doesn’t always work, so I would need you to reply and let me know if this works for you. 

 

This workaround, when it works, unblocks and resets the efile status for the tax return which could be achieved. 

 

You need to change the SSN to dummy SSN (like all zeros in ssn) and perform check efile status, then re-enter your real SSN afterward.  The steps are listed below.


Steps:
 

  • Change SSN to dummy SSN (like all zeros in ssn) in personal info
  • Go to File tab and perform efile status check -> No status will be displayed
  • Changed SSN back to original SSN
  • Go to File tab and perform efile status check -> Will/Should show correct status for the filing
  • Go to file a return section and file amend return, the product will allow to file amend return now.
