Trying to create and efile an amended Federal and California returns. Followed the instructions, once I click on the Federal Amended return, I get "Amended EF - cannot electronically file Form 1040-X that isn't calendar year 2020."

When I check the box for State Amended Returns, California does not show up on the list even though California FTB website says that we can file amended return electronically. 

Thanks for your help.

You need to "activate" the 1040X by inputting the year (checking the 2020 box) at the top of the form.

CA allows Efiling of Amended returns, but ProSeries does NOT, sorry.
