I am trying to efile an amendment for a client.  We efiled her original return in April.  I made a copy of the original and renamed it.  I went back to original efiled return, updated it and it is telling me I cant efile the amendment because the original was not efiled.  I can clearly see the original return efiled and accepted by the IRS.  Any suggestions?

There are new instructions for efiling 2019 1040x. You need to restore the original return, and follow the new instructions located at top of this page

You need to use the original file for the amended return, not a copy.

"I made a copy of the original and renamed it."

You need to use the same file with the same file name.
