I  re-converted on Jan. 16th, 2021, a tax return that was e-filed back in February 2020 mistakenly while before selecting e-file amendment on information worksheet. Now I am needing to amend the return tax year 2019 via E-File, but I am getting an error that orginal file hasn't been successfully e-filed, but it actually has been. Will I still be able to e-file amendment? Is there a way to correct error and submit electronically still?

Efiling isnt open for individual returns, so if this is a 1040, you have to wait until Feb 12th.

You also had to have Efiled the return using ProSeries (not someone else) and the file youre using for the amended needs to be the same file that you filed the original....so if you made a copy and a different file name to use as the amended, this will be a problem.

So do I understand this to mean that I can only efile 1040x's on returns I did the original 1040 efileing on?

I'm trying to do one where I only have a paper copy of the original. I did NOT efile the original. The TP did it themself? I've told them I can help them. Now it sounds like thats not correct?

You can't e-file it the return if you didn't prepare it, but you still can paper file the return.
