e-file a amendment for a new client, original return was prepared and e-filed by client himself

[samsjj88]

Any one can help on this issue??

The system does not let me submit the amendment, error message pop up saying I have not yet submit the original tax return and amendment can only be submitted after the original filing has been accepted.

Is there any way I can force the submit ion?

Rush!!  Rush!!  Help!!  Help!!

What year are you trying to amend, as ProSeries will only let you efile a 2020 amended return that you did not prepare and efile the original. All other years for an amended return that you did not do, you have to mail in

Thanks for you trying to help!!

I ends up call in and with help on phone, I got it done!!

Right way to do this is after enter everything to match the file exactly as what was filed original tax return, I save and create another file with different file name and work on the amendment as what we do normally.  Remember to check mark the "e-file" for the Amended tax return and also check mark the "file has been filed by others"!!

Thanks again for your reply!!
