Hello!  Does anyone know if I can amend an individual return already prepared and accepted by the client.  The instructions for efiling seem to want to have the original return filed on Proseries, but I don't have that.  

Any work arounds?  It wants me to efile the original return when I try to efile.  (but it was already efiled by client on another software)

Thanks!

No.  You need to have Efiled the original with ProSeries in order to Efile an amendment.

My answer is not from first hand experience, (I have not tried your situation)

But from other comments on here, I DONT believe that you can efile from proseries unless you prepared and efiled the original return, and that you are amending the same file.

Print and mail. None of the DIY softwares (that Im aware of) allow Efiling of amendments either so the client is still in the same boat.
