Amending a 1040 that was done by another accountant

I have been on hold for 30 minutes waiting for the Proseries tech person to come back to the phone to try to efile an amended return that was originally efiled by H&R Block

Make your life easy.  Have the client mail in the amended return.

ProSeries does not allow this.  You'll have to either paper file or use different software.

I am not sure but I do not think you can e-file an amended return since you did not prepare the original return.. Jack other posts on this forum about that... just my opinion

Correction should be check not Jack... Google Voice

I hear voices from time to time too.  Quite often they tell me to buy more ACME products.  This time they are telling me that Intuit doesn't let you e-file amended returns that you didn't prepare.  They also tell me there are very few states that ProSeries shows as being eligible to e-file amended returns.  The voices also tell me to drink more Ovaltine, but those voices don't usually speak to me until closer to Christmas.

Hang up the phone.   Do you need help amending the return or are you trying to Efile it?  Efiling isnt an option if you didnt prepare the original return, but we can help you get the amended ready to mail if you need help with that.

Iron Man, it is okay to hear voices as long as you do not answer out loud those voices... Just my humble opinion...

I was trying to efile a 1040X that another preparer had done. I know that won't work, but I was wondering what to send with the paper return..........since it was prepared by someone else, do I need to send the 1040, or just the 1040X?  Thanks!

you send the 1040X and any forms or schedules that have changed, the 1040X takes the place of the 1040.
