I submitted federal electronically and it was accepted, found an error so I amended federal. I have not filed state yet. Do I send my state form (with corrected amounts) or do I send the amended form? Wont print a corrected voucher for state

I submitted my  federal return electronically and it was accepted. I  found an error, so I amended the federal. I have not filed my state yet. I have an updated state form (with corrected amounts) that I can mail.  My Question: Do I send it or do I send the amended form  to the state? It seems like it wouldn't make sense to send an amended form, since I never filed the original one. Turbo Tax won't allow me to print a corrected voucher for state, (it assumes I am filing electronically, which I am not and I indicated as such, but it won't give me the corrected voucher amount.  Question 2: Can I just write the corrected amount on the voucher or will that just look suspicious?

@LL2023 

(a) you prepared a federal and State return ;  you  e-filed the federal and was accepted for processing.

(b) You found an error and therefore  prepared an amended  returns  ( Federal and State ).

At this point you  should wait till the federal processing is finished before filing the  "amended" return.    Note  the federal and State returns work as a pair.

Thus you can mail the original State return  and let that be processed.    

Wait and file both the amended returns as a pair when the time is right.

Note that  the State may send you a notice of non-filing  if you go past the  July/Aug. time frame because they will see the original  federal return but no state return

 

Does this help ?

Thank you for the reply, unfortunately I already electronically submitted the amended federal return.  Should I go ahead and submit the original state return, then wait to submit the amended state return?  Lastly, Turbo Tax would only print a voucher for payment for the state on the original return.  It would not create a new payment voucher for the amended amount. Can I hand write the correct amount for the amended amount on the voucher?

@LL2023  oh dear !

Perhaps  you then have to file both the states ----- original Fed & State    with the  original payment voucher.  That will complete the  original filing of both fed and State.

Then  wait a week or so and file the  amended  Fed and State to State  ( Because State will not get the Fed for quite a while ).  If there is any residual liability  , pay  that.  Note the amended return 1040-X equivalent for the state assumes that the  original  filing has been processed and refunds/liabilities settled.

 

Just go through it carefully  assuming as if these are being processed/settled serially.

 

Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Thank you for your help, last question: I am snail mailing my state return.  I will mail the W-2s  (minus the W-2 that I accidently omitted, hence the need to amend taxes) with my state tax form.  When I mail the amended form, do I need to mail duplicates of all of the W-2s again (or just the omitted W-2)?

Thank you

Just the omitted W-2.  But wait until they have processed the original return before you mail the amended return.

Have you already filed you NM return? It would be fully processed when you receive your refund.
