I got the link to open and IMHO it is all TT nonsense. Says you can e-file an amended 2024 return but I can't, says you can't e-file amended 2022 but I did. Shaking MY head. Can I e-file my federal Form 1040-X amended return? by TurboTax •       4828 Updated January 14, 2026 9:34 AM   Generally, you can e-file your amended 2025, 2024, or 2023 federal return via TurboTax if your original return was also e-filed in TurboTax. However, there's a chance your return can't be e-filed based on your unique situation. If this happens, you'll need to print and mail your tax return. If you're amending your return for 2022 or earlier, you need to print and mail your amended return. Follow these instructions to amend a prior-year return. Your amended return can take up to 20 weeks for the IRS to process. If further review of your return is necessary, the IRS may take longer. Three weeks after mailing your amendment, you can start tracking it at Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.

What tax year are you asking about?   If you are trying to file a rejected past year return, the ONLY way you can file it is by mail, so you need to print the revised copy that is correct in order to mail a correct tax return in.  Past year returns cannot be e-filed.   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.  

We are unable to duplicate this form flow experience. Have you run updates when you open TurboTax Desktop?   If you are still seeing this experience after updating, you can share a copy of your TurboTax ".tax2025" file with us. This would be a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.     If you would like to do this, open your return and go to Online in the top menu, then choose "Send Tax File to Agent." You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number.   Reply to this thread with your Token number and tag (@) the Expert who requested it. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.   We will attempt to determine what is going on in your return and if possible, provide you with guidance to resolve the experience. 

@malloyandrew633  from 2025 1040 instructions Starting in October 2025, the IRS will generally stop issuing paper checks for federal disbursements, including tax refunds, unless an exception applies. For more information, go IRS.gov/ModernPayments. To directly deposit the amount shown on line 35a to your checking, savings, health savings, brokerage, or other similar account, including an IRA, at a bank or other financial institution (such as a mutual fund, brokerage firm, or credit union) in the United States: • Complete lines 35b through 35d (if you want your refund deposited to only one account), or • Check the box on line 35a and at tach Form 8888 if you want to split the direct deposit of your refund into more than one account. Account must be in your name. Don’t request a deposit of your refund to an account that isn’t in your name, such as your tax return preparer’s account. Although you may owe your tax return preparer a fee for preparing your return, don’t have any part of your refund deposited into the preparer’s account to pay the fee. The number of refunds that can be directly deposited to a single account or prepaid debit card is limited to three a year. Learn DepositLimit. more at Benefits of Direct Deposit IRS.gov ********************** nothing of these websites suggest what will happen if you file without banking info, or the banking info is incorrect.   

Thank you for your quick response.  When I opened TurboTax tonight, there was an update that needed to downloaded and I did that and it only took a few minutes.  But then when I went to the 1099R section, that message appeared again saying this section is closed until the updates have been completed.   It appears that all I can do is wait until it completes it update.  By your response, it's a planned update issued by Intuit and not some problem I'm having with the software.  So I'm pleased about that.  Thanks again.    

No, long-term disability insurance payments which you receive after 6 months' absence from work are not subject to Social security, Medicare and Futa taxes, if they are paid to you more than 6 calendar months after the last month in which you worked.    Please refer to IRS Pub 15-A, Page 17.   The publication also shows two great examples supporting your situation.     

@jmax0910 wrote: just checked and it still does not work.  It may be available on the online version, but does not work on the desktop version.  Still waiting. Online TurboTax updates are more immediate.   If desktop hasn't yet updated, be aware that it may take longer for a desktop update to be pushed out to users since they are sometimes combined with other updates. It "could" happen in tonight's overnight weekly update, but that remains to be seen.   Otherwise, if not then perhaps in the next day or two.

FYI. Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC version gets free updates thru January 2032. Even Pro has the option of purchasing updates for 3 additional years from this past October. So, you now can understand, windows will still get free or paid for security updates. So its not simply "windows is expired and no longer supported"   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/release-information   2021 (21H2)

@MADY1977 Until the IRS begins to accept/reject returns on January 26, they are all just sitting on servers in "pending."   There is no way for us to predict which one of your returns might get through the pipeline first.   It does not matter what software you used.   You will just have to wait and see which one gets accepted first----if either one gets accepted.   But if one gets accepted, the other will automatically be rejected.

Any other date?  Are you using Online TurboTax or desktop software?   Some using Online report that it just updated for Online TurboTax.   I don't know if desktop TurboTax has updated or not (run a check for updates).   If it hasn't yet, be aware that it may take longer for a desktop update to be pushed out to users since they are sometimes combined with other updates. It "could" happen in tonight's overnight weekly update, but that remains to be seen.  If not, then hopefully in the next day or two.
