Printing and mailing amended Virginia state return

I need to file an amended Virginia 502 (PTE) return for an S-corp. Virginia does not allow amended 502s to be mailed in, and Turbo Tax Business states it cannot be used for amended returns.  When I choose to print the return, it has a watermark of "INFORMATIONAL COPY Electronic Filing Required" all over it, which means I can't print from TurboTax to file by mail. Where am I going wrong, or what is the correct procedure to print and file and amended state return? Thanks!

In the print settings menu, if you switch from "All official forms required for filing" to the option below, "Forms to review or keep for your records," does the watermark still appear on the printout? If not, you should be able to print this version, compare it to the print package with the watermark in option 1 for completeness, and mail it to the Virginia DOT. 

 

If you are unable to find a print option to remove the watermark, it may be acceptable to print and mail the watermarked copy to the state. 

 

Note: you may need to manually check the amended return checkbox at the top, as this is a requirement for VA DOT processing of an amended Form 502.
