After you file

Hi Irene,

The IRS actually allows the use of Form 1040-X to amend 2020 tax returns, by typing in the year 2020, instead of checking the boxes designated for other years (2019, 2018, etc.) but TT still has not allowed efiling of amended 2020 returns.

 

Since I need to amend the return and change my filing status from MFJ to MFS, I am required to submit the federal amended 2020 return before May 17, 2021.  I believe I will have no choice but manually submit (i.e. by mail) the federal amended return, unless TT updates the tax software in the next couple of weeks. Would you have any other recommendation?

 

Thanks,

HSTD
