Amended returns have to be printed and mailed. They can't be e-filed per IRS regulation. It is recommended to wait until the government has accepted your initial return and you have received your refund (or paid taxes due) before you amend the return. If you've closed out of your amended return, use the steps below to print a copy to mail. We highly recommend you save a copy for your own records in case you need it again in the future.

Detailed Instructions if using TurboTax Online

Log into your account and click Tax Home

Click on Add a state (not adding one, just a way to get in and print)
Then click Tax Tools to the left and Print Center
Select Print save or preview this year’s return

Mail to the address specified in your return.

Detailed Instructions if using TurboTax CD/Download software

Open your amended return.
Click on File and then Print.
Mail to the address specified in your return.

Once you mail an amended return, it can take up to 3 weeks before it shows up in the IRS's system. So give it that amount of time before you start checking for any updates on it. After 3 weeks, you can go here Where’s My Amended Return? to check the status of it.

Amended returns can take up to 16 weeks to be processed once they receive it. And you can find a list of frequently asked questions, about amended returns, here Form 1040X, Amended U.S. individual Income Tax Return, Frequently Asked Questions

My problem is that the amended form (IA 1040X) does not show in the list of forms to print for filing? How can I get this fixed?
