I was told by the irs to amend.
You are not the only person that will see that post. So it's all inclusive for anyone that comes across it in a search. Not everyone who amends or needs to amend is instructed to do so by the IRS.
One thing that seems to be a real PITA every year, is that the IRS originally states the 1040-X will be available around mid Feb. But it never is. TTX can only work with the dates the IRS provides. So TTX may have it in their time line plans for that original date. Then the date changes and throws everything out of kilter for the time line plan.
Then when it actually does become available, it's a real scramble to "get it out there" as fast as possible for the tax software companies such as TurboTax.
