My 1040x was rejected. I have corrected the mistake, but the web portal does not allow me to e-file again. Why? I do not want to mail it, I prefer e-file.

This was ultimately a UI issue with TurboTax. I was able to access the 2023 amended federal return again by going into my history and re-accessing the link. This seems to be the only way to e-file an amended return once it's been initially rejected.

Only certain paid tax pros  using professional tax software can e-file past year amended returns. You cannot e-file an amended past year 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.

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
