A question I answered when I did my 2020 return caused a <$300 CREDIT> AGI. When I filed the return, not realizing the problem, Turbo Tax told me I wouldn't be able to file an amended return until the 1040X form was available on 3/24. I checked again today and Turbo Tax shows the form still unavailable, but I googled it with the IRS and they say the form is available. I did not file my AZ return because of the glitch, but I need to file it. I assume when I am able to correct the problem with the 1040, that the change will come thru to the Fed AGI on the AZ return and correct the AZ return. When can I prepare and file the 1040X with Turbo Tax? Patricia H ([email address removed])
An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
See this TurboTax support FAQ on amending a tax return originally completed and filed using the 2020 TurboTax editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-do-i-amend-my-return/01/27439
The IRS Form 1040-X for amending a 2020 tax return is scheduled to be available on 03/26/2021 (subject to change)
