How do you efile form 1040x 2020 using the Turbotax PC download version?

jwp12 — Thu, 04 Mar 2021 19:40:17 GMT

I need to file form 1040x using the Turbotax PC download version.
I efiled my original tax forms using Turbo tax PC version.
The PC version says I must use paper return to file. The IRS accepts efile 1040x.
You support it in the online version of TurboTax Can you help?

You can Efile your 1040X using TurboTax Desktop.

The 1040X won't be finalized until March 25th, so you may want to wait until after that to prepare your amended return.

Be sure to save a copy of your originally filed return.

I still don't seem to be able to do this even though the IRS form was to be complete by March 25th. Has Turbotax not completed the update yet? I cannot find it anywhere in my current desktop version.

Thank you.

It has been available since March 26.

Use search topics for 1040x.

I have read the help topics, they indicate open turbo tax, select amend a return, I cannot locate the "amend a return" button...

I have the home and business desktop edition, not sure if that matters?

As I said "Search topics" for 1040x.

Or under "Other Tax Situations" Amend a return.

I'm using the 2020 version of Premier and can't find a "Search" option on any of the drop downs. I just finished checking for updates and it informed me that the program is up to date.

@turbomanxyz Are you using the Mac program or the Windows program? I have Windows Home & Business. The search is a magnifying glass. What are you trying to search for? The 1040X Amended return? When search it will give you a Jump to link to go right to it.

Keep going. You have to have your return OPEN on the screen. That is just the first screen when you launch the program. Hit Continue.

Still no luck. It told me I had filed but that was it

Re: How do you efile form 1040x 2020 using the Turbotax PC download version?

Well keep going. Let it check to confirm your return was filed. You can't amend unless the program knows your first efile was accepted.

You can jump around. You don't have to stay on this screen. You can go back. Just click on the tabs at the top. Like click on FEDERAL TAXES then go to Other Tax Situations and scroll down to Other Tax Forms - Amend. Like on a screen shot several posts above.

Out of the blue (~3 minutes after opening and surfing) and as I was getting ready to say "Still not there." it just appeared.

Well,Volvo Girl, I want to thank you & BTW my wife is into Packard's. Her pride and joy is her 1955 Packard Caribbean.

Enjoy your motoring

Glad you found it. Good luck. You can go just where you want by clicking on the tabs. You don't have to go in order though all the steps. If it's not too late, before you amend be sure to save your original return as a pdf file and the .tax2020 file. Then when you amend you first make a copy of the file to do the amendment in. So you don't mess up your original filed return. Save it with a different name. Go up to FILE - SAVE AS.

To amend a return

Some quick ground rules:

Be sure the original return was filed and accepted.
DO NOT go back into the return or change anything before you start the amendment process.
Gather everything you need before you start.
Complete the entire amendment process before you log out.
Starting with 2020 tax returns you can E-File a 1040-X amended tax return. All prior years must be printed and mailed.

You can correct a return that you've already filed and had accepted. Select the year that applies and use this guide to proceed.

Select your tax year for amending instructions:

For additional information please refer to How to Amend

E-File
