I am trying to amend and e-file my 2022 taxes (Fed & 2 states) which were originally e-filed using the TurboTax desktop (downloaded) TY2022 version on Windows. Like others, I’m encountering the invalid “Correct Your Signature Date” issue. Manually filing requires lots of paper, postage, and incurs significantly more delay in processing by the IRS. I’m seeking help with a couple questions.
My questions first and added details below.
- If IRS accepts e-filed amendments, who is explicitly stating or prohibiting an individual from e-filing an amended return? I don’t see anywhere on the IRS site.
- Or is this a decision dictated by TT and product limitations? Hey TT Developers - please simply adjust the accepted Signature Date range.
- If I were to employ TT assistance or pay TT to do my amendment, could the TT tax assistant e-file my amendment?
- Could I e-file my amended return if I were using TT’s online version instead of desktop?
I have read through a number of the questions, answers, and comments regarding amending a tax return and the invalid “Correct Your Signature Date” problem. I see some answers including one from @ManjManya indicate only paid professionals can e-file amendment. I don’t see anything on the IRS website confirming this. Rather, the IRS site (File an amended return | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)) site states:
To amend a return, file Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. You can use tax software to electronically file your 1040-X online.
Submit all the same forms and schedules as you did when you filed your original Form 1040 even if you don't have adjustments on them. Clicking on Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return leads to this information:
- You can now file Form 1040-X electronically with tax filing software to amend your Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR for the current or two prior tax periods.
- Paper filing is still an option for Form 1040-X.
