elec filing amended - FAIL - but no update needed

[rbrookefox]

When trying to file an amended return TurboTax returns with a failed validation advising that an update needs to happen but subsequently tells me my software is up to date. I do this a few times and restart TT with no improvement.

What tax year did you amend?   If it is a past year, like 2020 or 2021, you cannot e-file it.  You have to print, sign and mail it.

Only certain paid tax pros can still e-file past year amended returns. You cannot e-file an amended return that you prepared yourself using TurboTax.  Your 1040X must be printed, signed and dated in ink, and then you need to mail it in.  Use a mailing service like certified mail so you will know the IRS received it, since you will have a long wait for it to be processed.
