issue on Form 1040-X

wyip2026 — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 19:16:26 GMT

I amended my return by adding a loss from stock account. On TurboTax's 1040-X form, 1C is correct, 1A+1B=1C is also correct, but neither 1A nor 1B is correct. 1A supposed to be original amount reported, 1B should be the loss amount I amended. The other forms are normal, only this 1040-X is having issue. I have no clue where those numbers come from on the form.

Column A is what you reported originally - but you say yours is not accurate. Perhaps you made some changes before starting the amended return. You may need to delete the amended return and any changes. You need column A to match your original return.

Column B is the change. I wonder if you entered the loss more than once. This needs to be the correct amount of change. Your Sch D and 8949 are part of your amended return and those forms need to be accurate.

You can try revert to original or delete amend and all the changes made. Once your return exactly matches what you filed, select to amend.

I still don’t know where those numbers come from, but the form allowed me to manually override them to match my original filing. The amended return was e-filed and accepted, saving me a lot of ink, paper, stamps, and time. Thanks for the tips! Really appreciate the help!
