Solved

How can I change my input data and re-make my printed PDF, which I haven't submitted to the IRS yet, without having to make a TurboTax amended return?

It seems that, once we have "finished" and printed the return, TurboTax does not have a way for us to go back and fix mistakes. Just because we printed the return does not necessarily imply that we have already filed and therefore should make an amended return.

No you don't select a particular state. You just pick to add a state to let you back into your return. Are you already in your return?

If you haven't efiled or mailed your return or it rejected you can go back in and change anything you want. Do not click on Amend!

Click on Add a State to let you back into your return.

From Tax Home (the first screen you see after you sign in), scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. You may have to select Show to open the drop down.

Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this is just the workaround).

Then when you are ready to file you can try to switch to efile.

To resume working on a return that TurboTax thinks you finished,

use the bizarre command trick "Add a State".

Silly, but that's how it's done with TurboTax.

Thanks. Sounds simple, but my state is not on the list of states to select (does not have state income tax) and so there was no way for me to proceed to any screen that had the federal tax data option.
