Your 2022 amended return will need to be mailed to the IRS.
Where to Mail 2022 Amended Returns
Your 2023 federal Form 1040-X amended return is eligible for electronic filing if the original return was successfully e-filed using TurboTax. However, there is a chance your return cannot be electronically filed. If this happens, you'll need to print and mail your tax return.
Thanks Cynthia.
I indeed submitted my federal and state taxes electronically using TurboTax. If TurboTax offers the option to electronically file amended returns, that's precisely what I require. My tax documentation exceeds 500 pages, making printing and mailing both federal and state amended returns extremely burdensome. Additionally, I had a really bad experience the last time I printed and mailed my returns.
I got the following message when I tried to e-file my amended returns:
Although I did not want to wrongly date my signature date, the Turbo Tax agent on the phone asked me to try to date the signature date 12/31/2023
I then got this message:
I clicked on amend a return using the 2022 version of Turbo Tax. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
From what I've read you can efile a 2022 amended return only from the Online version not the Desktop program, sorry.
Thanks VolvoGirl. Funny the TurboTax agent did not tell me this over the phone. In any case TurboTax should make it clear as most people I know, due to privacy of their data, choose to use the desktop version.
Found my notes:

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.

Thanks again VolvoGirl. The link you provided is super helpful to know that many other users are facing the same frustrations with Turbotax. It is a simple fix that will enhance their product.
I'm having the same issue.
You will need to paper file.
Efile for amended returns is only available for the current year. You must paper file amendments for prior year returns.
