Hi Lisa. I tried responding to your last post right after you sent it but I was blocked from the community site. Some reason like inappropriate or something like that. Weird.

Thanks for the tip regarding next year's transfer.

I had already unchecked the e-file boxes on the original return before submitting my question to the community site. I finally got it to work by changing the EIN on the original tax return and saving it.

That is a crazy work around to get an amended tax return filed. PS should make it easier to e-file amended returns. OF COURSE the SSN/EIN will be the same as another return - the original return. If there wasn't another tax return with the same SSN/EIN then there wouldn't be a need to amend the return.

Sorry to blow off steam. It's frustrating to follow the directions and still have to do a weird workaround.

Thanks for all of your help.
