Status of Filing and Extension for Amended Returns

[rbbartlettconsul]

Currently when you create an amended return, the original return filing status and extension status are associated with the Amended Return.  These statuses should stay with the original return because otherwise you lose the audit trail affect of knowing original returns/extensions were accepted once the Amended return is filed.

When the amended return is created, the filing and extension statuses should be associated with the Original return.  The amended return filing and extension statuses will be blank until the amended return is eFiled. Once the amended return is eFiled, the filing status for the amended return should be reflected under return filing status for that amended return.  This way you have a record and audit trail of both the original return and the amended return separately.

Notice that in the instructions for 1040X https://proconnect.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/federal-taxes/amend-individual-return-1040x... In Before you start the last bullet point says:

• We recommend creating a copy of the original return to save your entries as filed.

Thanks for the idea for e-filed return statuses to reflect the original return and the amended return filing and extension statuses stay blank until the amended return is eFiled. We are changing the status to "Open for voting".
