The amended return cannot be accepted while the status of the original filing is unknown.

You have not asked a question.   What is the issue?   Did you e-file a return that you amended before the original return was accepted or processed?  You should not send in an amended return until the original return has been fully processed.   Before you do anything else, please check to see if your original return was accepted.

 

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

 

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  

https://www.irs.gov/refunds         

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

 

Note:  If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you

If you just e-Filed 1040, you must wait for ACCEPTED before e-Filing 1040-X
