I realized that I needed to file an amended return for 2023 about a week after filing the original returns. The process for creating the amended federal and state returns was pretty straightforward. The issues began when I tried to file. The initial filing page said that I would have to print and mail the federal return, but that I could e-file the state return. There was a button on the page to print the federal return so I did that. The page said it would ask me how I wanted to print it, and that I should specify "for filing". It didn't ask and it ended up printing a bunch of worksheets, in addition to the forms for filing. When I went to the next page, it told me I could in fact, e-file the federal and state (GA) forms. Then went through the pages to e-file both and got to the point of hitting "transmit". The transmission failed and gave me an error message that said that TurboTax was not ready to file 2023 forms (this was today). I tried again and got the same failure so I called Technical Support. They told me to open and close the program to see if there were some updates and then turn off my antivirus software. I did all that this time it indicated that the federal transmission went through. It didn't say anything about the state transmission going through but the next page said that the federal was waiting for acceptance, but the state had been accepted. The latter seemed strange to me since I never saw any medication at the state I've been transmitted. Indeed, while I've gotten confirmation, since then, at the federal form has been accepted, I have received nothing from the state, indicating that they received the transmission never mind accepting it. I called Technical Support again and asked if there was a way to force TurboTax to retransmit amended state submission. They were no help.
My purpose in writing this long tome is twofold. First I wanted to point out that there are some errors in TurboTax to whether or not you can actually file an amended federal return electronically under appropriate circumstances. Second, I wanted to see if anyone knows how I might force TurboTax to retransmit the amended state return that it actually thinks has been accepted. if not, I will end up ironically printing and mailing the amended state return.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
