Amend a 2020 return

I need to amend my 2020 return but TT keeps staying the IRS is updating forms and to wait. However on the IRS website it has forms available to amend a 2020 return. I'd rather use TT to do this. What's the delay? When can I expect to use TT to amend my return?

The Form 1040X is scheduled to be finalized and available for e-file on 3/18/2021. We have to wait for the IRS to give us approval to use the form and they have to approve our software changes.

Check the forms availability for any updates.

Note: Generally, Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, must be filed within three years of the date the original return was filed, or within two years of the date the tax was paid, whichever is later.
