HOW TO CLEAR DIAGNOSTIC 55205

[chuck_baldwin]

I'VE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC IS STILL THERE.,

Form 1040: Form 1040-X is included in this return. This return must be e-filed as an amended return. Please use E-file Amendment options in the File Return. US - Ref #55205

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

[GingerU]

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

[George4Tacks]

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.
