I understand the basics of filing an Amended tax return, but the problem is that the instructions provided by Intuit for calculating the new return are incomplete. Under Item 4 in the instructions under "How do I amend my 2018 return in the TurboTax CD/Download software," it says....inside your program, search for amend and then click the Jump to link." It seems to assume everyone knows where this "search" link is and how to get inside the program. Wrong. I have renamed the copy of my originally filed return and confirmed that there is now a copy of the original and a copy of the copy on my computer. Why can't I just open the copy (entitled Amended) and proceed to make the needed adjustments to correct the original? The original is still there. I would be working in the Amended copy only. This seems sensible, but Intuit has to make it convoluted and confusing. Please unconfuse me.
