Submit 2019 Return before 2018 Amend is refunded?

[ttcustomers]

Hello,

7/15/20 deadline fore Tax return is fast approaching.

I submitted a 2018 Amend but have not received the approval yet, should I go ahead to file 2019 Return or should I wait for 2018 Amend to be approved?

You should file your 2019 tax return. You do not have to wait for your 2018 amended return to be processed.
