Your 2023, 2022, or 2021 federal Form 1040-X amended return is eligible for electronic filing if the original return was successfully e-filed using TurboTax.
However, there is a chance your return cannot be electronically filed. If this happens, you'll need to print and mail your tax return.
Since you're amending a 2023 return, had your original return been Efiled and Accepted? Had you already received your Refund?
If you did not see the option to Efile, it could be that you were not eligible to do so.
However, Amended returns takes months to process (either Efiled or mailed) so no immediate concern is necessary. You have up to three years to Amend a Return.
Three weeks after mailing your amendment, you can start tracking it at Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.
Yes, my original 2023 tax return was e-filed in late January and I have already received a refund.
I was fully expecting to see the option to e-file the amended return but never did, so I printed it, signed & dated it and mailed it via Priority Mail.
It was a real bummer, the option for me to e-file my 2023 amended return was not clearly made available IMO because I was definitely looking for it, and cannot believe I missed it. It's mailed to the IRS in Austin, TX now.
