Hey xmasbaby0,
I think its actually possible now to e-file an amended tax return electronically as I was just given the option to do so. There are a few exceptions, like if you are changing you filing status, where you still have to mail it in, but I think for me, I should be able to just e-file the amended return. Not sure however if that still requires my parents to mail in their returns but I am guessing that it most likely still does.
