Amended Federal Return
OK, I am confused about something. I e-filed my original return yesterday in TurboTax and it was accepted by the IRS. I noticed today that I forgot to include a 1099-INT for the interest on Series I savings bonds. First of all, no additional state tax is due because it is a savings bond. Even though TurboTax gave me the option to send an amended state return in (for Virginia) I did not do that. That is the state question.
So, for the federal question. A "Step 1, Step2, Step3" screen came up in TT and Step 2 said this:
Step 2: Print and mail your amended returns (Returns other than VA, must be mailed).
I continued on and it allowed me to e-file the Federal Amended Return where I confirmed my original banking account information to pay the additional tax owed from the 1099-INT that was missed.
Then it tried to get me to e-file the Virginia state return again even though there was no change. I unchecked the option to file the VA state return.
What gives. This step 2 seemed to indicate and cannot e-file the federal amendment, but it allowed me to continue on and transmit it.
