Thank you for the detailed answer!! I worked through both options. Using option 1 - edit the original to include updates from the first amendment. Then I amended that copy. This gave me the final numbers to work from.
Then I amended the original amendment. This process came up with the correct numbers. To my surprise, it also amended the state return. I will mail in this return.
So steps I took
- made a copy of the amended tax file --- copied amended.tax to amendment1.tax
-went into TT and selected "Need to Amend a Filed Return?
-Selected amendment1.tax
-When asked to save the file I named the saved file amendment2.tax
-Proceded to make the necessary changes and again saved the file as amendment2.tax
Now I just need to print the forms for both fed and state and send them in.
- Selected
As another step, I logged into irs.gov and validated the numbers in original return along with the first amendment.
Again, thanks for your help!
