Hi Dmertz, hi Opus 17 and hi other experts:
I finally got to work on the amended return in Turbotax, exactly as Dmertz and Opus 17 suggested (thank you again).
I am running into a couple of technical glitches, as I am going through the review of the amended return in Turbotax 2023; I wonder if you can advise on these as well:
a) Turbotax keeps telling me that signing with a date of today (02/13/2025) is not acceptable, as the latest date that I can use should be 12/31/2024. Why is that? And what do I do? I sign as 12/31/2024 and pass the SmartCheck or do I sign as 02/13/2025 and keep the 'errors' (indicated by the SmartCheck)?
b) I have been reading on the various blogs that TT cannot file electronically an amended return after the 'season' has closed. But technically the TT that I have (desktop version 2023) lets me go all the way to e-filing, for both Federal and California. So, can I /should I try to file the amended return with TT or should I ignore this capability offered and print and snail mail both federal and state return?
thank you thank you
