My 2025 return has been accepted by the IRS. I have to file an amended return, but the software will not process it and I have no idea why. Any suggestions?

I am using the online version. I get to "Just 2 more steps and we'll file your amended returns" and get thru "Your refund info", but there is no "Continue" button for the "Get ready to save and file your amended returns". I have already canceled and redid the amended return, but still can't get past these final steps.

As for the technical issue you are having with an amended return, I can't help with that and will let someone familiar with that amending interface assist you.   But in the meantime, while you are waiting for help, I will mention the following, although it's not the reason for your technical issue.

Are you due to get a Federal refund with that original return you filed?   If so, it is generally not recommended to prepare and file an amended return until after the IRS has fully processed the return and that you have received the Federal refund.    You only mentioned "accepted by the IRS," and "accepted" is an efile term that means soon after efiling they agreed to begin processing it.

Thanks.  I am not due a refund on the original return.  I am due a refund on the amended return.  

I have since found the IRS has a certain date that they begin accepting amended returns.  Near as I can tell it was supposed to be sometime late in Feb.  So maybe the IRS just has not started accepting amended returns yet, even though we are now in March.
