Apparently the entire procedure to E-file amended returns has changed since yesterday. One of those yellow highlight bars announcing that would have been nice.

Is anyone else having difficulty e-filing the 1040X now? Followed all the new steps, but I keep getting the message that a return has already been filed with that SS# and I can not get it to e-file.

I am using the file listed under the Amended return column, Marked for e-file, but no luck.

1) you are the person that filed the original return, correct?

2) in part VII of the info sheet, you marked "file federal amended reurn electronically"

3) you are using the 'same' file you orifinally filed, not a file with a new name, like xxxxxxxamended.20i

4) on info sheet Part VII again, is the box below the box you checked in my #2 above, is it now checked (by proseries, not by you)?

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, it was checked before I did anything.

Unfortunately, I did not realize the procedure had changed since I amended returns yesterday, so I proceeded to do the amendment according to the previous method, Client file maintenance/ back up/copy file etc... I don't know what that might have done, other than not work.

Deleted all amended info and began new procedure to amend. Saved as and the rest. I have the original return and the copy. I amended the original return, not the copy and all the correct boxes are checked, selected the correct file listed under the Amended return column, yes to the duplicate SS#, but could not efile it.

So in the EFCenter you see the red message that its a duplicate SSN?

If you kept a copy of the orignal and saved it as a different name, be sure youve unchecked the EF boxes on it to get it out of the EFCenter or you WILL have a duplicate SSN message.
