After you file

Hmm, it sort of worked.  I am unable to get to the initial screen where there is a link to "amend return," but now it thinks I never filed the original 1040.

 

And when I click on "file a return," it says,

 

"Unable to e-file

It looks like you've prepared a federal amended return form 1040X.

It also looks like you haven't e-filed the 1040 through TurboTax.

To e-file the 1040X through TurboTax, you must have e-filed the 1040 through TurboTax."

 

Maybe, I am unable to e-file?  My Calif amended return is still pending at this time too, but TurboTax is unable to give me status updates because it thinks I didn't e-file...  I will wait for my email confirmation for California...

 

I do have MacOS "time machine" backups of prior versions of my return, if reversion to a prior version would help?
