I filed my amended state return in Jan 2020. It was for my Dad who passed away in 2019. I called and they said I needed to sign the return and send it back with a letter. The date on the form is 01/22/2020. I need to change the date to today. How do I do that without having to amend again?

Use a pen. Cross out the printed date neatly and write in the date you are sending it.

@Kayhie25 The current online software is only for 2022 returns, and it is impossible to e-file a 2022 return at this time, so not sure what you did. Clear out any 2021 data you entered into the online program and use it later for your 2022 return.

But....if you need to prepare a 2021 return you need the CD/download and the return will have to be mailed.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2019 and 2020 and 2021 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2019, 2020 or 2021 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
