E-filing Superseded Returns in ProConnect Tax

ProConnect Tax supports the e-filing of superseding 1065, 1120, 1120S, 1041 and 1040 returns. These may be e-filed only during their original filing period, and is for federal returns only.

A superseded return is a return filed subsequent to the originally-filed return and filed within the filing period. Down below we'll go over how to file this type of return.

Select your desired tax module:

For business returns:

1. Make a copy of the return after the initial return has been filed and accepted.
2. Go to General ⮕ Electronic Filing ⮕ Superseded.
3. Select the File superseded return box.
4. Transmit the copied return with the superseded checkbox marked.

For individual returns:

1. From the Input Return tab, go to Miscellaneous Forms ⮕ Amended Return (1040-X)/Superseded ⮕ General Information and Federal (1040X).
2. Under the Superseded Return section, you will see the following steps:
   1. Make a copy of the return after the initial return has been filed and accepted.
   2. Mark the checkboxes to amend Federal return and to file a superseded return.
   3. Transmit the copied return as a federal amended return to efile a superseded return.
      • The copy of the return will be made automatically once you check the box for amending the individual return.
      • Do not unlock the original return to make these changes, as this may cause downstream issues in future years.
3. Complete the above steps.
