Filing an Amended Return

I had to complete an amended return both federal and state. When I finished and  was ready to file it says I have to mail federal and I can email state which is for Oklahoma. That's as far as I could get, first saved return, printed return then when tried to file it says I can't e-file federal because I am at the limit of 5 e-filed returns. Go back and select file by mail and continue, still says I can't efile because I am at limit of 5 e-filed returns. Seems to be a turbo tax problem with the software. Now stuck at this point of not being able to file.

You must have already e-filed five tax returns using your TurboTax Desktop product, which is why you are getting that message.  You will have to print and mail your amended tax returns.  You can't email your amendment to Ok.

 

Refer to the TurboTax Help articles  Can I file multiple returns with TurboTax? and Can I e-file my federal Form 1040-X amended return?

 

If you need additional assistance with printing and mailing your amended tax returns, review How do I print and mail a return in TurboTax Desktop for Windows?
