I'm also confused about the Ammend Mode. I am amending my 2017 W2. in which Line 12W and DD were swapped. This really played havoc with my HSA consequence. I entered Amend Mode then I made the corrections (meter was 0 to start) and I thought this would be it but then TT started asking for all my personal info again and then asked me to go to Deductions. Doing all this other stuff also alters the meter which makes me very uneasy about this process. When do we exit Amend mode? After only making the necessary change or complete all the Federal and Stated Prompts. Also when I attempted to save TT tied to name the file the same as the original return but I modified the name with "_Amended". Having to reenter original data already in the original return is asking for trouble. Please advise.
