Efile form 1040X when original 1040 was efiled by someone else

I have a few 2019 amended income tax returns (1040X) I need to efile. The original tax returns were efiled, but not by me. Proseries is not letting me send the amended income tax returns to IRS because I did not efile the original tax returns and the software doesn't find the original accepted efile in my homebase.

Is there a work around for this?

No. This is ProSeries' policy.

Proseries has always worked to make the customers work easier and quicker. This policy makes our work harder and take longer. I hope that Proseries will reconsider this policy because it seems more restrictive than IRS requirements, (it seems that IRS only requires that the original return to have been efiled and accepted, and seemingly does not require that the same tax preparer using the same software filed the original return).

Please reconsider. This will become a bigger problem as time goes by, clients continually change tax preparers, and paper returns will continue to cause extra work and time. Thank you.

Oh so if we get a new tax client for amending return, we cannot use efile via proseries, still have to resort to mail, unless we previously filed the original? hmmm. I hope there is a way around this.
