My question was not answered. Why didn’t TurboTax automatically use the 1040X for my re-filing?
If you amended a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the IRS, then the only way to change that original tax return is to use and file a federal amended tax return, Form 1040X.
An amended tax return, Form 1040X, can only be printed, signed, dated and mailed by you to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 4 months to process the amended tax return.
If you used the procedure to amend the tax return as shown in this TurboTax support FAQ then you were informed that the amended tax return had to be printed and mailed.
