Cannot e-file a 2024 Federal Amended Return

[vjmcc1]

I get the same first message when I try to e-file my amended 2024 federal return. It says I didn't file the original with Turbo Tax, but I did. The return was accepted, and the check is showing in my bank account as "pending".

Did you create the amended return in the same file that you used to e-file the return?

Yes. Per the screenshot I posted above,  the Federal refund and the State amount due shown are the amounts generated by the amended return.  

I filed my return on the same return. I followed all the steps for filing an amendment.. When I get to the e-file/paper return screen, I get locked in the death loop. 
My original return was e-filed and accepted. The refunds were direct deposited.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Yes I did, thanks.

I'm having a similar issue, @KeshaH . I tried submitting an amended return today. Near the end, I got a confusing message:

"Returns other than CA must be mailed." (I'm a CA resident.)

I took this to mean that I could not file amended return with the IRS electronically. But on the subsequent steps, it let me choose e-file for my federal. Just after I hit Submit, it said I needed to update the app. (I'm using Deluxe for Mac.) So I did that. When I resubmitted, it DID accept my CA form...but my federal form status is ambiguous:

"Transmission trouble – please try again."

So I've tried repeating those steps. But every time I go through the File steps again, it shows only my CA form, and lands me back at the same e-file status ("Transmission trouble") for my federal form.

Do I have to print out my 1040-X and mail it to the IRS? I'm only nervous because I put in my payment into for the IRS, and I don't want to pay them twice. Thanks.

This is a known issue for MAC users. You will need to paper file your Federal Amended return.

I filed my 2024 business tax return on 6/27/2024, and it was accepted the same day. Today, on 2/2/2026, I prepared an amendment but can't e-file; the system says "You have no return eligible for e-filing." The amendment is about 150 pages. Is there any way:

1. to e-file? 

2. instead of print all these pages, can select to only the small amount?

E-Filing 2024 business returns is not supported by TurboTax Business. You'll need to print and mail the necessary pages. Basically, this includes the main return form (1065, 1120S, etc.) plus any other forms that are new to the return or that have changed since the original filing. Be sure to write "Amended return" at the top of all pages.
