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.
@MarilynG1 ,
I e-filed my original 2023 return and have received the refund due me.
I amended my 2023 return with Federal Form 1040-X and was expecting to e-file it as you suggested (above) that I should be eligible to do so.
However, this message (see below) is what I received from TurboTax:
To file your amended returns, you’ll need to print and mail them
Amended returns cannot be electronically filed (e-filed).
If you don’t mail your returns, they won’t be filed.
