Taxes filed, refund sent and turbo tax keeps telling me the form 1040X is not available yet. Ready until 2/8/19 then now it says 3/8/19, when will it be ready really?

My return was accepted, refunds have been received and I need to file an amened return due to claiming a non-dependent child on EIC & Daycare Credit that the other child's parent is also going to claim. So need to amend my return as to not get letters from the IRS. Turbo tax originally said that I could amend on 2/8/19 now it says 3/8/19 so when am I going to be able to amend?

The IRS would not send any letters until late in the year for a child that is claimed on two parents tax returns. The other parent will have to print and mail their tax return because it will take the IRS up to 16 weeks to process your amended return. They can go ahead and do that before you amend your return. 

No one can guarantee that the 1040X will be available on or before 3/7/19. It depends on how quickly the IRS approves the electronic version of the form for TurboTax.
