Does Turbotax intentionally not support E-File of an Amended Federal 2024 Tax Return

user17715485092 — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 15:24:23 GMT

It seems 2024 Turbotax should support e-filing amended returns according to this Intuit TurboTax Article @ https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/e-file-1040x-amend-return/L9tXL1Nuh_US_en_US

Can I e-file my federal Form 1040-X amended return?

Generally, you can e-file your amended 2025, 2024, or 2023 federal return via TurboTax if your original return was also e-filed in TurboTax...

2024 Turbotax Windows desktop application does allow e-file of an amended 2024 tax return. Selecting continue on the E-Filing is closed for the season page allows the sending of e-filed returns.

However, the return is rejected by the IRS after transmittal with "IND-689-01 - The year of the 'PrimarySignatureDt' in the Return Header must be equal to the processing year."

I'm not sure why, but 2024 Turbotax requires the use of a signature date of 01/01/2025 through 12/31/2025 on the Correct Your Signature Date page.
I strongly suspect that is what is causing the rejection of the amended 2024 tax return being e-filed in 2026.

I attempted to report this as a coding error since the article referenced above and posted by Turbotas this year indicates it is supported.

Intuit Turbotax support indicated that it is not supported and that mailing is the only way to file an amended 2024 return. I asked repeatedly how I could identify a possible coding error. They suggested the Intuit community.
It may be poor training of the support team. It may be intentional to limit e-filing to a single year. Either way it is a shame that it does not work!

According to this TurboTax FAQ it says "There's a chance your return can't be e-filed based on your unique situation. If this happens, you'll need to print and mail your tax return." Can I e-file my federal Form 1040-X amended return?

I am posting to report this issue with a rejected e-filed amended 2024 Federal Tax return.

The error message received for the rejection is: "IND-689-01 - The year of the 'PrimarySignatureDt' in the Return Header must be equal to the processing year".

TurboTax, by requiring the signature date to be in 2025, while the amended return is being e-filed for processing in 2026, is the cause of the rejection. The 2024 TurboTax application should allow today's date.

Could someone in TurboTax product management please look into this and either:
1. Confirm that limiting the 2024 TurboTax desktop application to E-filing during 2025 is intentional.
2. If not intentional indicate if a fix will be implemented and if so a rough estimate of when the function to E-file will restored.

This TurboTax support FAQ is probably the closest as you will be able to get to product management addressing this issue - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/e-file-1040x-amend-return/L9tXL1Nuh_US_en_US

Generally, you can e-file your amended 2025, 2024, or 2023 federal return via TurboTax if your original return was also e-filed in TurboTax.

However, there's a chance your return can't be e-filed based on your unique situation. If this happens, you'll need to print and mail your tax return.
