Stuck in a loop trying to amend state return (Oregon)

[jdseymour]

I forgot to include my political contribution credit on my Oregon return, so I wanted to amend it.

After a few false starts, I eventually got to a screen that asked me to enter a note for why I was amending, but I didn't actually make any changes before continuing (which was probably a mistake).

It then did a review and asked me to download.  I did so, but realized that nothing had been done, so I cancelled the amendment and started over.

But now, it thinks I've filed an amendment, and it won't let me make any changes!

If I start the amendment over and click the pencil (edit) icon for my state return, it goes straight to the review step.

Has anyone encountered this?  And if so, can you suggest how to fix it?

The "helpful" AI said I should delete my entire return and start over.

You need to  follow the steps in  undo amend to get it to correctly cancel and get back to the starting point. If you can't get there, see Second Amendment instructions. It will still be filing your first amended, correctly!
