Accidentely e-filed an amended return using regular e-file option. Will this be a problem?
I recently did 3 amended returns for the first time in ProConnect. While doing two of the amendments, I saw the suggestions in the Check Return screen to use the amended e-file option, but forgot to use the “E-File Amendment” option in the File Return screen when submitting them.
Has anyone ever made this mistake? If this is going to be a big issue, what do you suggest as a fix to get ahead of the issue. All three are showing as “Accepted” as of right now.
I would think that if ProConnect required a specific e-file option for an amended return that once you select “amended return” in the profile section they would take away the regular option so that issue like this don’t happen. Alternatively, they could make it more of a critical diagnostic if it is more than just a suggestion.
