After you file

The question mode of Turbo Tax 2022 for amended returns is broken. It fails to pull tax data from the original return after asking what changes you will make. Turbo Tax then fails its own checks because no prior return data has been populated and the 1040X is at that point useless and a mess. If you try to go directly to the 1040X form you can not update any columns other than column A which sort of stops anyone from trying to use Turbo Tax Form from within the original return to file. 

 

The only work around I have found is to open up the 1040X form within the original tax return and click on the year being amended. At that point Column A and C will populate with he original return data as well as your personal information. Now, download the IRS editable PDF file from irs.gov and manually enter that data then begin working on Column B and Column C updates for what changed.

 

It's March 11 with no fixes from Turbo Tax so I'm not holding my breath that this will get fixes. One of the great things about Turbo Tax was the ability to easily do an amended return. The software team really botched it this year  - Good Job Guys!
