Filing amended return - error - "turbotax is not ready to file 2023..."

I am trying to electronically file my amended return.  When I do the final transmit button, I get the error that "Tax year 2023 transmissions are not available.  Turbotax is not ready to process tax year 2023 for this return"

 

It is September of 2024...

Are you using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions?  Which OS, Windows or Mac?

Make sure that you have updated the software to the latest release.

Click on Online at the top of the desktop program screen.  Click on Check for Updates.

windows 10, downloaded edition.  I did check for updates and it was up to date.  Tried it again this morning and still fails with the same message.   I also did a reboot of my PC just for fun.

Give this a try, if you are not currently running the application as an administrator -

 

Save your tax return and close the TurboTax program

Right click on the TurboTax icon

Click on Properties

Click on the Compatibility tab

Check the box for Run this program as an administrator

Click on OK and Apply

 

Start the TurboTax program and continue the tax return.  See if this resolves the problem.

If not, then contact TurboTax support for assistance

One other thing -

The program needs to know that the original federal tax return has been e-filed and Accepted by the IRS.

Click on the File menu at the top left of the desktop program screen.

Click on Electronic Filing>Check Electronic Filing Status

It should indicate that the 2023 federal tax return has been Accepted
