Before you start:

  • Amended Form 1120-H returns can't be filed electronically using ProSeries software.
  • If you e-filed the original return, it must have an accepted acknowledgement to e-file the amended return.
  • If the original return was paper filed make sure original return and extension are not marked for e-file.
  • Before starting we recommend making a backup of the original return. See How to copy or backup client files using ProSeries

  3. Press F6 to bring up Open Forms.
