Trying to eFile my amendment. Ran into this error. Before eFile, it asks me to enter Today's Date. But during check, it forces me to enter a date in 2021. So, I changed it to 3/25/2021. And then during eFile, I got this error. What should I do? Give up?
To make matter worse. When I click on "Check E-file Status". It says my 2020 Federal Return is Accepted. I clearly stated this is an amended return in the beginning and TurboTax knows it. It was only about 30 min since I attempted. I did not receive any E-mail about efiling. So I think this is not real.
Are you u sing the Desktop program? Apparently you can not efile a prior year amended return from the Desktop program.

According to our tech support team, this is not a product defect. TurboTax Desktop for prior years does not support E-file for amendments like TurboTax Online does. Apparently, the signature date is the trigger for rejecting an e-file attempt.

The thread @VolvoGirl links to is from February of 2024. You would think that Turbotax should be able to resolve this issue in a month. After all online filers don't have this issue.
