How should I file my amended 2022 tax return?

Hi tax expert,

I tried amending my 2022 tax return to remove a substitute 1099-R, but encountered an issue filing the amendment through TurboTax. The program insists I correct my signature date to fall between 01/01/2023 and 12/31/2023, trapping me in a loop and preventing transmitting my amended return. Is e-filing an option for the federal amended return, or should I mail it instead? Regarding the New York State return, TurboTax requires e-filing, but this signature date issue has left me unable to proceed. Can anyone provide guidance on this matter?

Thank you in advance for your help.

No, you can't e-file a 2022 amended return in TurboTax. You will need to print and mail in your amended tax returns.

As far as the New York state e-file mandate, it only applies when the software you are using supports e-file. In other words, you must e-file, if you can.

Since TurboTax doesn't support the e-file of 2022 amended returns at this time, you can print, sign, and mail your return.

E-filing is an option. Sounds like your computer may be experiencing a loop. Let's clear your cookies, history and cache' then reboot.

Thank you for your quick response!

The issue with cookies doesn't apply to me since I'm using the TurboTax desktop version. My problem arises when I enter a signature date of 3/16/2024, which falls outside the allowed range of 1/1/2023 to 12/31/2023 for the 2022 amended return, and I'm unable to move forward to e-file the federal and state amended return.
