The amended form in TurboTax until 3/25/21 (subject to change). The IRS needs to approve TurboTax's form before they can include the form in the software. The IRS suggests you wait until your original return is fully processed before you amend a return.
I did my sons taxes early Feb, but missed the checkbox on the screen that asks if he became deaf or died, where it states someone else can claim you. Oddly, the next screen was about him going to college so it seems it would have checked that...but my fault. Soooo...I cannot do my taxes until his are corrected, as it kicks it back because he stated nobody can claim him.
Taxes are soooo fun 🙂
Is there a better answer besides waiting?
The current scheduled date of release is March 26th; however, this is an estimate. As you can imagine, all the last second changes and "moving the goalposts" by Congress, the IRS, and the states are throwing all schedules out the window.
Please follow the release date by looking at this TurboTax Help article.

I was sure the date to Amend using the CD was March 25th. I've been waiting since February. So now the 26th? Also, my son cannot file his taxes until I amend and drop him as a dependant. How will this affect his ability to claim the stimulus funds that he is due to receive- the 2020 stimulus as well as the recent 2121 stimulus?
Forms availability says that IRS Form 1040X will be available March 26.
If you claimed your son as a dependent on your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return and he was claimed as a dependent on your 2019 Federal 1040 tax return, he will not be eligible for any of the three stimulus payments that have been issued.
As your dependent, he may have been eligible for a stimulus payment that was sent to you.
