Why did it say that I can amend on February 15th, which is today, now it says the 22nd?

Tax form availability is subject to change.   The 1040X has often not  been available until late February, so this is not unusual.  I was pretty surprised when they first said February 13.  So, you have to wait.

It is too soon to amend a 2024 tax return.   You have to wait until it has been fully processed by the IRS.  Sometimes the IRS catches and corrects mistakes you made.   And the Form 1040X you will need is not available yet. Amending too soon can cause confusion and long delays.

There could be many reasons why the amended return may not be ready yet, including the IRS systems. 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.
