I submitted my year 2022 taxes online back in apr 2023. I need to amend that return. I made a trial run with ttax and at the end of the process, where it asked me to save and print the amended return, I clicked Done and it then offered to send the return online. That's what I expected. However after starting over with an untouched, saved copy of the 2022 return, it no longer offers to send the return online. I started from exactly the same file, untouched since I filed in 2023. How can I send the amended return online?
Are you using the Desktop program for 2022?

According to our tech support team, this is not a product defect. TurboTax Desktop for prior years does not support E-file for amendments like TurboTax Online does. Apparently, the signature date is the trigger for rejecting an e-file attempt.

Yes this is desktop for 2022. I think it is supposed to support efile if the original was efiled. And, the first time around when I did not actually submit the revision, after the save and print page, clicked Done, and it then offered to efile. But this time around it does not.
You can only efile a current year amended return from the Desktop program. Even if you tried the first time around it would have rejected.
