Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
If my return was rejected, do I need to send in a 1040X by mail or just a 1040 or both?
I finished my amendment for my federal return, but I would need to file it via mail. Can I amend my IL state tax return only after my federal amended return has been accepted? Should I leave that section blank on my TurboTax PC for the time being until then? From what I understand, this can take 12-16 weeks.
We also did not realize that we had to file a separate extension for state returns; does that mean we would accrue penalties until we wait for the status of the federal amendment? Once we file for the state amendment, according to Illinois.gov, it can take up to 6 months. This is concerning. What would be the best course of action?
Thank you.
