I need to file form 1040x using the Turbotax PC download version.
I efiled my original tax forms using Turbo tax PC version.
The PC version says I must use paper return to file. The IRS accepts efile 1040x.
You support it in the online version of TurboTax Can you help?

You can Efile your 1040X using TurboTax Desktop.

The 1040X won't be finalized until March 25th, so you may want to wait until after that to prepare your amended return.

Be sure to save a copy of your originally filed return.

I still don't seem to be able to do this even though the IRS form was to be complete by March 25th. Has Turbotax not completed the update yet? I cannot find it anywhere in my current desktop version.

Thank you.

It has been available since March 26.

Use search topics for 1040x.

Some quick ground rules:
