1040--NOT 1040X--comes up when attempting to amend a prior year return using TT desktop
Is there a way to change the form used in the desktop version of Turbotax from 1040 to 1040X?
•I have two prior year returns to amend.
•Both documents that I need are available in Turbotax, so...
•I selected 'Amend (change) your 20XX return' ('22 and '23)
•I downloaded the desktop version of Turbotax
•I went through all the steps, entering the new information I missed when I originally filed
•It calculates these changes...
...but the document is a 1040--not a 1040X--and it is as if I am filling it out for the first time, rather than amending the return. The changes impact the final calculations for what I owe/get back...but the numbers automatically entered into form 1040 don't show the difference between the original totals and the new--it is adding them together.
Any help would be appreciated!
