After you file

I tried to follow your instructions, but I get a message that says, "Don't file returns by mail that have already been transmitted electronically." Maybe software doesn't know it's an amended return?


A prior year amended tax return cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.  In the file section you should use the Mail selection instead of e-file.  The prior year amended return can only be printed and mailed.  You sign the Form 1040-X in ink, date and mail the return to the IRS.
