How can I post my question first? I want to post the following question on the time limit on a Amended tax return. Two articles on this topic are provided by IRS.

To avoid delays, file Form 1040-X only after you've filed your original return. Generally, for a credit or refund, you must file Form 1040-X within 3 years after the date you timely filed your original return or within 2 years after the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.

Amended returns must be filed by paper for the following reasons:
- Any amended Form 1040 and 1040-SR returns older than three years, or Form 1040-NR and 1040-SS/PR returns older than 2 years cannot be amended electronically. Amended returns for any other tax years or tax forms must be filed by paper.
- If amending a prior year return originally filed on paper during the current process year, then the amended return must also be filed on paper.
Accoding to the 2nd article the time limit of 3 or 2 years is applicable only to amended returs filed electronically. Which article is correct?
