HelenC12 is correct! This is a bug. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with TT yesterday trying to explain it to them. It auto-populates the form 1040X incorrectly and the 1040 correctly. From what I understand, this (1040X efile) is a very new option in TT. In my case I amended to remove my son as a dependent. That leaves me with no dependents in line 30. My 1040X showed a change of -1 dependent when I removed my son (just above line 30 where the dependents are listed), but still put his name back in the line 30 box which should now be empty. It corrected the actual 1040 form which shows no dependents, the way it should, which is now a mismatch with the 1040X. It is kicked back because the lines/boxes do not match. We have no way to manually change the auto-filled content in what TT creates for us. I talked to a lawyer for TT on the phone for almost an hour and he understands my situation and suggestions, and is looking into it this morning. He said he will call me today. Hopefully we can resolve this soon. Otherwise, the only option would be to do actual paper forms and mail in.
