Why won’t the 1040 X amendment form be ready until March 26

[twoods31317]

I need to change something on my taxes before they process

Even if you amended the federal tax return today, it will take the IRS 16 weeks or longer to process the amended tax return.

You cannot stop or sidetrack what has already been filed.  You should never amend until the originally-accepted file has been processed, and any refund issued (or payment made if you owed....though who knows what exceptions might be required if you filed already with unemployment being taxed )

It wouldn't surprise me if the 1040X form was delayed even further to a later date.
