Question

Can I e-file an amended 2019 return with TurboTax if I filed my original 2019 return with another company?

If so, how exactly can I do it?

No. And amending a return not filed with TurboTax is not simple. You must purchase the CD/download product and *exactly* recreate the origination tax return already filed - errors and all. Then print for filing to fool TurboTax that you did file the tax return. Only then can you amend.

See this TurboTax FAQ for detailed amend instructions:

-- Amended returns can only be mailed - allow 8-12 weeks - can take up to 16 weeks (4 months) for processing.

You can check the status of the amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after mailing.
