When is the amendment drop down available online after a 2024 business return is accepted?

I have wached the video on how to do a return and where there is a drop down menu in the video, it does not exist when I log into my 2024 taxes. There is nothing above Downlod/print return (PDF)

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment

I understand what amending is and I have read through all the articles and watched the videos.  The problem is that the drop down menu that should be available online is not there.  

 

I have also asked for a callback, but instead the autobots sent me a canned email response that says this:

To amend a business return, you will need to download a copy of TurboTax Business Desktop. Since you have already purchased the online version, you do not need to pay again for the desktop version for the year you need to amend

 

I have tried to find a place that will allow me to download a copy without being charged, but that is elusive.  

 

Anyone have a way to find this desktop version?

Ok, so you need to call in, you can ask for a manager if you'd like to hopefully save some time. Since you need to amend with desktop, they will give you a 100% discount code and help you get it installed and your return transferred to the desktop version.

I've requested that the help article be updated.
