I am trying to file an amended return for a person for whom I did not prepare the original return. She wanted to save a few bucks and went to Credit Karma. She did not file a Schedule D with her return

How do I enter this? She has an existing file. Do I need to re-enter all of the information, or can I just do a 1040 X showing the changes?

Can I file the Amended Return online if I did not file the original return?

You can't Efile an amended return for a return YOU didn't Efile the original.

Its just not an option using ProSeries,

How to enter: Enter and complete the 1040 as originally filed. Save. (I usually call the file name1234_amended.19i, but you didn't prepare the original.)

AFTER saving, also do the state. Save.

THEN go to the 1040X and click the box for amending 2019. Then go to state and do the same.

Then go back to the federal and make your changes. See 1040X and it should be filled in. Also state.

Save. You cannot e-file the 1040X since you didn't e-file the original.

@auntiewild701 In case you ask why you can't e-file 1040X for 2019 returns not previously e-filed by you (and you wouldn't be the first one), it's not an IRS restriction but by Intuit's own software limitation.

There are other tax products out there that can e-file 2019 1040X regardless of whether it was previously e-filed with their own programs but this is just not possible with Intuit's professional tax products.
