I need to clarify what you are asking so that I can answer properly. Did your original tax return get accepted when you e-filed? If it rejected, you would not need to do an amendment, you would correct whatever is wrong and then re-file. An amendment does have to be mailed, but is not necessary if the original return wasn't accepted. Please let me know if you need additional assistance.
Aw shoot. Wish i had of known this. Yes my original return was rejected, not accepted. And TT' s response emails firmly indicated that i needed to file amended return. Furthermore, TT charged me additional funds to correct. So wat do i do now? Just yesterday i got another " rejected" email. When i correct it it says i cant efile
What message are you receiving that prevents you from e-filing?
And just to make sure we're on the same page, this is your 2017 tax return, correct?

Is it possible that you went in and made changes to your original return and then when you couldn't e-file, you printed the return and mailed it in? What is the Form number in the corner of your tax form? An amended return is 1040X.
Yes that's exactly wat i did. And it was form 1040x. So now wat do i do? Have i confuzed the IRS gods?

Ok. I havent paid. TT is grabbing the fee from refund. As we speak im attempting to redo stste. Thanks for link. And just so im clear: i cancelled amendment and then clicked on remove amendment. Im good on this? Wat about the printed amendment i mailed to the watchers?
Yes, I checked with my manager to ensure my instructions were correct. It was agreed that even though you mailed the 1040X, that without the original tax return, the 1040X would not make sense to the IRS, they need the original return. And that is what you are working on and will send in. They will most likely hold the 1040X and send out a letter to ask for more info and by that time, you will have submitted your original tax return.
First, you will need to delete the amended return. Even though you mailed it to the IRS, it will not be correct without the original return. The IRS needs your original return.
