Unable to Submit 2024 Amended Return Redirected to 2025 Tax Screen

vamsikrishna9 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 23:33:01 GMT

Hello,

I filed my 2024 federal tax return electronically and later realized I forgot to include royalty income.

I can see the amend (Form 1040-X) option for 2024 in TurboTax Online, and I was able to complete the amendment by adding the royalty income. However, when I click “File”, the system redirects me to the TurboTax 2025 tax filing screen instead of allowing me to submit the amended return.

Could you please help clarify:

Why the amendment submission is redirecting to the 2025 tax screen?
Whether I can still mail the amended return (Form 1040-X) since my original 2024 return was e-filed?
If mailing is required, should I print and mail only Form 1040-X or the entire amended return package?

Thank you for your assistance.

1) It's possible your return isn't eligible for e-filing.

2) Yes, you can print and mail an amended return even if you e-filed the original return.

3) TurboTax should include instructions on how to mail your amended return, including which forms are required.

If you electronically file a Form 1040-X for tax year 2021 or later, you may request your refund be directly deposited into your checking or savings account. Otherwise, the IRS will send a check to the address on the return.

@vamsikrishna9

Amended tax returns that are mailed are not eligible for direct deposit of a tax refund from the amended return. The IRS will mail a refund check to the address on the amended return.
