Amending 2022 return, I may have messed up

[jfirko]

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: 

How do I cancel or undo an amended return in the TurboTax CD/Download software?

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.

Alright, so now I have a new issue.  I went through and deleted the amended return from both federal and state.  And then made the changes to my federal return.  I added a PA 1099G tax return from last year and added in business milage for my wife's new car that I had mistakenly forgotten.  Everything seemed to be working fine.  

Now I should note that I live in delaware, my wife is a contractor in delaware (self employed/business) and I have rental properties in delaware.  My job though is in PA.  So every year I file a PA return.  I always do this separately because PA has a separate, simple, free, electronic filing system, outside of turbotax.  and it is simple because I just list my gross income from my job in PA, and it is a flat % tax.

Anyway for some reason after I amended my return turbo tax is creating a PA tax return, and it is including all of our other DE income, businesses, etc that I do not believe should be on there.  I tried going into the forms view and just deleting the PA-40 form out of there, but then during the error check turbotax said that there were 29 missing entries from PA-40 forms...

So, I thought no big deal, I will just file the federal and DE state amended returns, not PA, but when I go through the process I see that it is including this PA-40 form in my saved return (and maybe sending it with my federal return also? I am not sure).  Also when I go to efile it also does not give me an option to efile my DE amended return...?  I am not sure how to resolve this. 

Is there some way that I can stop it from creating this PA-40 Return, and to efile just my federal and DE state returns?

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???

Below is what I see when I attempt to file my amended return.  it lists federal, and PA, but I want to file my federal and DE returns....  How do I efile the DE amended return?  When I look in my forms the amended info is there...
