Did you mean to do an amended? If not look at the profile and remove the check marks for amended.

me too!  I've gone through everything and all are marked correctly.  Did you have any success in clearing the error?

Very possibly the diagnostic will not clear. It is informational and you can just ignore it and go on with your your life (and your e-filing.)

I can't e-file without clearing the error message.  I already e-filed Fed and now i realize i should have done state as well so i unchecked federal amendment and still have error. 

Hi @ddiehr Thanks for stopping by the Community and posting! If you’re still seeing diagnostic 55205 and are unable to e-file, we recommend reaching out to ProConnect Tax Support if you haven’t already. They would be able to take a look at this with you. 

 

Thank you for your reply. I figured it out. in case others have the same problem, I had to go into the return to remove the federal 1040x amended return.  I had filed that one previously. 

@ddiehr You’re welcome, and thanks so much for sharing what worked for you! This will definitely help others who run into the same issue. We appreciate you taking the time to post and look forward to seeing you around the Community!
