As of April 8th, 2021, this glitch is still an issue. I used aaronbeh's recommendation on page 4 of this thread.
I expanded it as follows: Do not use Search 8938, then “jump to, 8938”
INSTEAD
Go to Uncommon Tax Situations
Scroll down and click All Uncommon Situations
Then click Other Tax Forms
Then click Prepare a Report on Foreign Financial Assets and fill in as usual. In our case, because we entered no data in the interest, dividends, etc section of the form, when we did the review, it needed us to click on Part V, box 3d- No tax item reported in Part III with respect to this asset.
After entering the info for my two Foreign Accounts (the second lists out as Copy 1), and completing the section, and working our way through “skip a state”, review, etc, we were able to view the Amended Tax return in Print Center and confirm the form was created. We efiled, however, the 1040X and 8938 could also be mailed to:
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Austin, TX [social security number removed]
Note, if you find this out before you efile, and haven't paid yet to see Print Center, you can go to Tax Tools, Tools, Delete a form, and view the list of all the form names, (you just can't see the actual forms) and confirm you have a form 8938 in the list. (Don't hit the Delete button, of course 🙂
