The tool says that if there is a change to any of the credits on my original filing, of which the stimulus recovery is one, that I need to file an amendment. Is there a timeline on when TurboTax will receive the necessary guidance from the IRS regarding amending returns based on an incorrect stimulus recovery amount? The instructions are available for the 1040X form now, so I believe that I can file the amended return by paper, but would prefer to efile the return like I did my original return
I am also confused why the recovery credit is not listed as one of the credits that I can amend when it was added to the original filing. It is further problematic in that if I finish my amendment hoping that it will ask about the stimulus recovery in a similar way that the software did for the original filing it makes an auto adjustment of adding the full and incorrect amount of the stimulus recovery credit to the amended return almost like it doesn't recognize that it was added in the first place. This doesn't make sense as a waiting for guidance issue to me
I guess the question I most need answered is will it be worth waiting for TurboTax to fix this issue so I can e-file my amended return, or should I just paper file the amendment instead?
