I need to amend the 2020 & 2019 returns. I have completed the amending , the online system says I cannot e-file a 1040-X. Even this link says the same thing:"For years prior to 2021, you'll need to print and mail your amended return. Follow <A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-to-amend-change-or-correct-a-return-you-already-filed/00/25588" target="_blank">these instructions</A> to amend a prior-year return." <A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/can-i-e-file-my-1040x-to-amend-my-return/00/26008" target="_blank">Can I e-file my 1040X to amend my return? (intuit.com</A> According to the IRS's own information, that is not true. You can now file Form 1040-X electronically with tax filing software to amend 2019 or 2020 Forms 1040 and 1040-SR. To do so, you must have e-filed your original 2019 or 2020 return <A href="https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040x" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040x</A> So then with that, how can I e-file the 1040-X? Do I have to go through another service then?
