I need to make a change to my tax return. I printed it but I have not submitted it (was not able to e-file). How can I do this on TurboTax?

I saw an answer on here that tells me to go to "add state" to be able to change my tax information on TurboTax for this return that was "finished" but not submitted. I can get to my state tax information that way, but I cannot get to my federal information because the bar on the left just shows "Amend Tax Return" on the side. And every time I click that it just tells me I can't amend my tax return right now due to the form not being available.    But I don't think amending a return is what I'm supposed to do here anyway since I haven't submitted anything to the IRS.

I think there's a glitch.   What can I do about this? Do I have to just restart completely?

You will need to change back to e-file in the program to be able to make your changes. Once you've done that and finalized your return, you can switch back to file by mail if you're not able to e-file. Please see the below TurboTax FAQ to assist with this:
