How to create amendment for 2019 return after paper-file?

[samsongli]

I created my family's 2019 tax return using TurboTax Home & Business, due to some online issues I had to paper-file it back in April. Now my wife received a K-1 and we need to create an amendment. I tried to add the K-1 to my tax return file, TurboTax does not create amendment. How do I create an amendment using TurboTax? Thanks.

Slow down.  Do not file an amended return until your original return has been fully processed.  If you file an amended return before the first return has been processed it will create confusion and delays.  You have plenty of time to amend--three years in fact.   Right now, the IRS is not even opening the mail.   Mailed returns are piled up in trailers until the RS can get to them.  Wait a little while to amend.

Per the IRS website IRS Operations During COVID-19: Mission-critical functions continue: The IRS is not currently able to process individual paper tax returns. If you already have filed via paper but it has not yet been processed, do not file a second tax return or write to the IRS to inquire about the status of your return or your economic impact payment. Paper returns will be processed  once processing centers are able to reopen.

When you know your original return has been processed:

A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:

Start TurboTax on your computer and before you even open the tax return, click on the box in the lower left corner of the screen that says "Amend a Filed Return". That will start an amended return for you.

If you have already entered the K-1 information on your return, you must delete that and any other changes you made to the original return after you filed it before you start the amended return.
