I am trying to submit amended returns for tax year 2019 and 2020.
I wanted to keep a copy of the original return, so I opened the original return and saved another copy with a different name, then I closed the TT program and re-opened TT. Both the original and copy of the original return shows status of return: accepted. I amended my returns, went through all the checks, and at the end it TT shows ready to file, but the only option is to print and mail.
When I click on file tab, although there is an option to electronic file, when I click on that button the program states: "E-filing is closed for the season, you can file by mail. You can still file this return but you have to walk through printing and filing by mail. TT efiling status closed for the tax season Oct 15, 2020." When I attempted to do this for my 2020 taxes I got the same message just differed by the date i.e. Oct 15. 2021
I have the download version of turbotax Home and business version.
Can you please assist me in filing electronically, the IRS allows for electronic filing of amended returns for 2019 onward. Both the above amended tax returns were originally done and filed using the same TT program (i.e. I have TT for tax year 2019 and 2020) and I used the TT file which shows it was accepted so the TT program knows the original tax return was efiled using TT.
