The Intuit Electronic Filing System is having difficulty recognizing the data you are sending. First make sure your product is up to date. Then open the return and run Final Review. Save the return and try sending it again.

IRS has closed efiling for tax year 2019 which would include a 2019 amended return.   You will need to mail the amendment.

For future reference - only 3 years of e-filing are open at one time.  For star date 4/16/23, that means 2022, 2021, and 2020 are currently open.
