Amending 2022 return, I may have messed up

I know that I forgot to add my new vehicle expense to my 2022 tax return. we sold our old car and got a new one and are now using that new one for my wife's business. I remembered to enter the miles for the old car, but forgot to enter the new car, and I've already e-filed.

to understand the impact I opened up my desktop turbotax and quickly made the change to see that it is about a $800 difference in the bottom line for state and federal... I then closed, but didn't save the file.

However, when I open the file back up and say that I want to start an amended return it seems to have these changes already in it. Instead of starting with $0 in the refund status boxes it has $700ish in federal and $100ish in state.

Then when I go a little further it says that it is not detecting any differences between my filed and amended return...? Is there a way to load and start from the file that I actually filed? or maybe I need to un-edit this file, start the amendment and then re-edit? I should be able to do that.

Thanks

If you started amending your federal return by accident and would like to cancel the amendment, follow the steps in the link below:

Thanks, I will give this a try this week and reply back with how it goes.

It is a little annoying that the software does not warn you that you are changing a submitted return, or better yet give you the option to save a copy to work on or something. And that it saves your changes even though I told it not to save... It should warn you that it does this otherwise it gives you the impression that you can choose not to save changes.

This is aggravating because I never started a PA-40 or a PA-40X ... When I attempt to delete them from the forms view, they just pop back up...

so I was able to go through the pa-40 forms, change it to an individual instead of joint form, and check all of the boxes to say that the rental income was not from PA. So this return now essentially matches the one I submitted through the other system... Annoying.

I still however cannot figure out how to submit my DE amended return through turbotax???
