As I hinted earlier, you may need to go back to the original tax file and start over.
- Open the original tax file in TurboTax. Save as "Amend-NoState".
- Remove the state. Save the file. Close TurboTax.
- Without opening a file, start TurboTax.
- Click on the "Amend a Return" option at the bottom of the splash page.
- Open the "Amend-NoState" file. Confirm there are no state forms in Forms Mode.
- Return to Step-by-Step and make the changes you need for the amended return.
- Review and e-file the amended federal return.
You might try adding Arizona to the amended federal file (make a copy first). TurboTax may not prepare the state return as "amended," though. In that case, may need to repeat the steps above without removing the state then try filing Arizona by itself.
Make copies of the .tax20XX file as often as you think you might need them. Better to have too many than be forced to start over again.
