After you file

Ran into this same problem on TTax 22. The Amended State filing user interface is confusing for NY because of following screens

• A screen that says TTax 22 efiling window has closed (see below). Presumably this means both Fed+State
• A screen that says NY require efiling amended tax return if you efiled original return (see below)
• Steps that actually allow you to go through most of the step of efiling both Fed and NY amended return including signing with entering today's date (see below)
• Finally at transmission phase, it fails and shows the today's date entered is now between 1/1/22 and 12/31/22 (see below)
• Furthermore, the printed out amended NY returns doesn't provide any mailing address or directions. I had to consult NY I-201X directions. (see below)

From this post, I see amended return has to be mailed. I realized NY is a special case for TurboTax (require free state efile) Anyway, a few improvements should be made to avoid confusion

• Disallow letting the user go through efiling steps after it has warned the TTax efiling window is closed.
• Words saying NY requires efile amended return if original was efiled is probably not true? Even if true, should be noted only while TTax efile window is open.
• Printed instructions should include mailing address and directions.
