PattiF, I'm new to the community, so I hope it's ok to do a quick follow up on this issue. I did the entries in Turbo Tax for this amendment for my Illinois return (IL- 1040-X) and it gave me the option of filing a federal 1040-X even though there was no change to federal income for tax purposes. I submitted the federal not realizing that perhaps I didn't need to. I don't see a way to change that after the fact. Also, I did also print the IL-1040-X and the instructions, but it is not at all clear to me what forms I need to mail to the Illinois Department of Review. Clearly the IL-1040-X, page 1 and 2 of the federal amendment and their acceptance. Turbo Tax offered to print the entire IL return, which seems to include the pages for the extension, but also the original 1040-IL I filed. Would appreciate any guidance on that.
