My original federal 2024 tax submission was efiled and has an "Accepted" status. I need to make an adjustment (for a late arriving W2), so did an amended federal return and am getting a message when attempting to E file which says "Nothing Selected to E-File" even though I clearly selected the E-File radio button under the Federal return.

It is too soon to amend your return. ‌You should wait until the return is fully processed.‌ If you are expecting a refund and are amending for an additional refund, the IRS states you should wait until you've received the original refund. Then, you can amend as soon as the federal amended tax return form 1040-X is available for filing in TurboTax. Use this tool to check availability of forms, including 1040X: Tax form availability

Thanks. In this case my refund is lower after the amendment so was trying to be proactive and correct it.

OK. I will wait until I here from the IRS.

The new date was pushed to 2/22/2025.

Tough year for TT. The software is missing a lot of critical components this year.

The 2024 amended tax return, Form 1040-X, will not be available for filing using TurboTax until 02/13/2025.

Has there been an updated date released? As of 2/24/25 I'm not seeing the amend option (but can see it for prior years).

The amend feature for 2024 is available using the online editions, if you have e-filed the tax return and it was accepted by the IRS or you have printed and mailed the 2024 tax return.

[RESOLVED] Return has to be processed first

Great news! That's not showing up in my UI of the online edition. Is there a lag between when my return was accepted and when the button appears on the UI?
