I am trying to electronically file an amended return but when I check that box I get an error that states if I haven't successfully electronically filed the original return then I cannot electronically file the amended return.  The issue is that I did file the original electronically; has anyone dealt with this issue and if yes how do I fix it?  Thank you

You must use the original file that you used for the original return for the amended, not a copy.   

If you made a copy then amended the copy, it wont be able to be Efiled.
