Yesterday I tried to efile an amended federal return Form 1040-X and it was rejected by IRS with the following error: "If Form 1040, AmendedReturnInd is checked, then Form 1040-X must be present in the return".  The data file did include a Form 1040-X.

Taxpayer had prepared her own original return which was filed electronically with IRS, but requested that i amend it. I followed all the instructions in the ProSeries instructions "How do I amend a 1040 in Proseries?", but the return still rejected.

Please provide guidance as to a fix.
