When filing amended return, should TT Desktop tell user that, while they can efile the state amendment, they must print/mail the federal one, then later say Fed efile OK?

TT at outset said Fed 1040X must be paper-filed. When I got done printing all the forms out and prepped to mail, it then went to the File stage, where Fed e-file appeared available.  Confused, I proceeded to e-file state.  Now, I cannot e-file Fed, which I would've done had TT indicated such was an option at the beginning. :{
