Question

Why can't I amend my taxes when I haven't filed them? I shouldn't need 1040x if I haven't filed. We looked at the option to print, but we didn't file.

Didn't print or e-file. Turbotax won't allow us to go back and amend the return.

Amending means making changes to a tax return that you already filed. If you haven't filed yet, you cannot amend. If you need to make changes to the tax return before you file it, you just go back to the topic that you need to add or change and enter the correct information. See the following FAQ for more information.
