There have been some discussions about whether using the ONLINE software, it is even possible to prepare a second amended tax return, to an already amended tax return.

First, make sure you know that you have to do that...in other words, you prepared and "Paper-mailed" in your prior amendment some weeks ago already.   

Then call Customer Support to see if someone there can work you thru it....IF..IF..anyone there has enough experience to walk you thru it, then you can proceed.  BUT..it is also possible that they may have to push a desktop download, that you install on your computer.  

On your home computer loaded software, you would open that 1st amended tax return.....and delete just the 1040X form....save the file, then start a new amended tax return.  That would start a new 1040x.

.  but first...right away, you should download your current PDF file, and your .tax2015 data file to your home computer so that you have copies of your 1st amended tax return.
