After you file

Hi LeticiaF1,

Thank you for your answer.

I am using the TurboTax Desktop (Mac) version to prepare amended returns, and I would like to confirm something clearly before proceeding.

On the “Select the Return You're Ready to E-file” screen (see first snapshot), I choose:

• Do not e-file my federal amended return now, I’ll do it later
• E-file my New York amended return now

From your experience, can I fully rely on the system to transmit only the New York amended return and not transmit the federal amended return when I select “Do not e-file” for federal?

I would like to e-file my NY amended return (since NY encourages e-filing when available), but I need to be absolutely certain that the federal amended return will not be transmitted unless I complete the federal e-signature step and explicitly authorize transmission by E-signature.

My concern is that if, due to a system glitch or hidden mechansim, the federal amended return were accidentally transmitted, it could create a conflict with my previously mailed federal amended return that is currently pending and has not yet been processed by the IRS.

For that reason, I would greatly appreciate clear confirmation that selecting “Do not e-file my federal amended return now” and NOT seeing IRS e-signaure page (see final snpashot) fully prevents any federal transmission in the desktop version.

Kindly help confirm this so that I may proceed with the NY e-file with confidence. Many thanks for your answer.
