After submitting a tax form where I forgot to include SS incovme I submitted an amended for with tax owing, which would have been covered by the return. The IRS processed the amended form first, but the money owing was not covered in the designated account, and was refused by the bank. It is now covered. What should I do to pay this amount?

we invested a significant amount of money in a local business that filed for bankruptcy and closed in 2024.  They did not issue a final K1 but the business was a total loss.  Can we still claim the losses on our taxes for that year?  We have a promissory note for the amount of the investment and we are listed in the bankruptcy filings as investors.  

I prepared an amended return Form 1040-X after receiving a late supplemental Tax Report. I am using the desktop version of TurboTax. I was informed that it is not possible to file the amended return electronically with this version so the entire return with all all forms must be mailed to IRS. However, TurboTax is prompting me to file the return electronically. Is that an error or glitch?

I  can't order my  free Audit Defense  despite reaching out for customer service support multiple  times , 4/25/2025    I  became  a Turbo Tax Advantage  Member in  2024  but I have been a turbo Tax customer  since 2009 .  The problem is  I am  unable to claim the Audit Defense for  my 2024 tax return using my Turbo Tax Desk Top product.     I have had at lease 3  phone based customer service support encounters and none could resolve  the problem to allow me to claim the Audit  Defense benefit .    I have spent hours upon hours on the phone with Turbo Tax customer service  representatives  with so much anguish and to no avail, each taking me through a number of different trouble shooting steps  ( lets try this and that and see if it work )   Every singe  Turbo Tax representative consulted “extensively”  off line where I was asked to “please hold”   the holds were for very long  periods of  time .    3 calls to turbo tax , 3 customer service reps taking  me through a series of different   trouble shooting steps which resulted  in none of these Turbo Tax customer service support reps. being able to resolve the problem .   Finally I was told the issue was not with my Mac laptop but that  the problem was likely a technical  glitch  with Turbo Tax and specifically the issue was likely  was not being allowed to  connect to the Turbo Tax server  but not to worry because the issue should be resolved  by the next business day  but that never happened  I tried so many times  ,over and over again.   I received an 3/26/25  email  from  Intuit Turbo Tax AUDIT DEFENSE  finally  after me  sending  multiple messages to turbo tax while finishing up My taxes  advising Turbo Tax that I could not place the order for audit defense.   The  email advised  Audit Defense  must be activated by April 30 2025 . The email include the instruction on How to activate your one free Audit Defense Benefit .   I need turbo tax  I to know. I tried to follow the instructions on ‘How to activate’  one free Audit Defense  multiple times. I  never never able to get  past  step 5  each time I got   an error message ‘OOPS. Something  must have  none wrong ‘.     I  would like to request intuit turbo tax contact directly their  Audit defense  partner  to place my  free  Turbo Tax Advantage 2024 audit defense order  to obtain Audit Defense on my behalf.   Intuit Turbo Tax should  be able to complete a work around and facilitate  me getting my  2024  AUDIT Defense benefit      Doing my taxes with Turbo Tax  this year has been a horrible experience  because of not being able to get my 1 free audit defense benefit which was the entire reason I became a Turbo Tax Advantage Member.
