  1. Yes, you can use TurboTax 2021 to prepare your amendment for your 2021 tax return. You cannot amend a 2021 tax return in TurboTax 2022. Please review the TurboTax How to Correct Federal Tax Returns for additional information.
  2. You should be able to e-file your 2021 amendment if it was successfully e-filed using TurboTax but there are certain situations where you may need to print and mail. Please review the TurboTax Help articles Can I e-file my federal Form 1040-X amended return? and Can I e-file my amended state return?
