I need to amend my 2020 return with an amended K-1. But the only field available for Box 1 is a 2022 field?

I have confirmed that I'm attempting to amend the 2020 return. But the only box I can enter text into is a 2022 field.

You have to use the 2020 Desktop program to amend.  Did you install it and download the .tax2020 file?

Thanks for the reply. I don't use the Desktop program. I use TurboTax Online. According to the article you linked, I should be able to amend the return using TurboTax online. But when I follow those TurboTax Online directions, there's no field for amending 2020 figures.

Did you open the Online section in that article?  See step 3.  When you amend it should tell you that you have to download the program.  Then follow the CD/download instructions.

Thanks again for your reply. That step reads:

• Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online
  • If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax CD/Download below instead

But I am not prompted at that step to download anything. It just proceeds as described to steps 4-6, but when it comes time to amend boxes, there's no field in which to enter Box info for 2020. The only editable field is for 2022 even though I've started amending the 2020 return.

@stee2118 

Let's start over since you are NOT in the correct place.   You must first get to the 2020 section and then download the 2020  .taxfile & the 2020 downloaded program to amend a 2020 return.  Log into the online system ... scroll down and choose the 2020 tax year ... then the option to amend the 2020 return using a download will be the ONLY option you will have ...

Got it. Thanks!
