Amended Return Glitch - Asking for prior year payment date

I am trying to file an amended 2021 return to add a 1099-R, and after selecting to e-file it is asking me to "Correct Your Payment Date" for the original 2021 taxes owed. It says it must be a date in 2022, but even if I enter a valid date it keeps coming back to it as an error. My only other option would be to file by mail which I really do not want to do. Is there a fix for this?

A 2021 amended tax return using TurboTax cannot be e-filed. In the File section of the program you need to select File by Mail.

It states that Federal can be e-filed, but state cannot. The IRS confirms this:

Can I file my amended return electronically?

Yes. If you need to amend your 2020, 2021 or 2022 Forms 1040 or 1040-SR you can now file Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return electronically using available tax software products.

Additionally, amended Form 1040-NR and amended Form 1040-SS/PR can now be filed electronically for tax year 2021 and 2022.

@lzcheetah The personal editions of TurboTax can only e-file an amended tax return for the current tax year, 2022. They cannot e-file any prior tax year amended return. Those amended returns can only be printed and mailed.

Only the Intuit Professional editions, Lacerte, ProConnect and ProSeries, have the capability to e-file prior year amended returns.
