For the time being, because of the confusion caused by making some unemployment nontaxable well after the start of tax season (normally, all these changes are finished by December 31st), if you have unemployment insurance income on your return, TurboTax is blocking you from amending even if your reason is actually something else.
TurboTax and the other software vendors are working with the IRS to try to minimize the "mess" that this situation has created. I assume that the IRS has asked vendors to not allow amendments until the IRS is able to get the unemployment refunds out starting in May. Otherwise, we'll have refunds and amendments crossing paths in total confusion.
Do you have unemployment insurance income on your original return?
