Changing from paper to e-file and doing so without amendments

Hi all,

 

I planned to paper file my taxes given an uncommon situation of multiple over-contributions in previous years. Hence, I chose the paper file option in TurboTax as I wanted to manually add some Form 5329s. Yet, New York state does not allow me to paper file and requires me to e-file my federal. I only learned about that after the fact.

 

So, now I want to switch to e-file my federal and state tax, but Turbo tax does not allow me to do so.

 

1) First, I can only amend my 1040 to add the over-contributions even though I have never sent my paper 1040 to the IRS. Why can't I just add it to my TY2022 without an amendment?

2) And then how can I change the filing method? The method described here does not work as there isn't "File" in step 5.
