Can you not e-file an amended 2020 return if changing filing status?
I am changing my filing status from HOH to single in my 2020 amended return. It all looks good except it says I cannot e-file an amended return on turbotax. I believe the IRS is now accepting e-filings for 1040X for 2019 and 2020.
Is turbotax not ready to handle an e-file of a 1040X for 2020 yet? Is it because it is a change in filing status and not something else? When it checks for errors it says that "you can't e-file if there is a change in filing status", but I don't see that stated anywhere in the turbotax directions or the IRS directions as exemptions from efiling a 1040X for 2020.
I'd like to do this expeditiously so my original tax return does not conflict with my daughter filing independently this year. If I have to mail in my 1040X, it appears that it could take up to 16 weeks to register in the IRS system.
