How can I amend a 1065 return?

I am trying to amend a 1065 return under the BBA. According to Rev. Proc. 2021-29 the Partnership which I am trying to amend does not qualify to do so by marking the "Amended" Box on the return and K-1's. 

 

I started doing the 1065-X but stumbled upon this intuit help article stating "Form 1065-X can't be used to amend a previously e-filed return".  (Amending a partnership return in Lacerte - Intuit Accountants Community). I e-filed the return so, does that mean I cant file a 1065-X now? How should I amend the 1065 return?

The link you posted is for Lacerte (an Intuit product for tax professionals).

 

You cannot e-file a Form 1065X with TurboTax Business, regardless.

Right, in the Windows Turbo Tax Business program Efiling the 1065X is unsupported, see this list

I don't know about the professional programs like LaCerte or PtoSeries.

Form 1065X is printed and mailed.

 

An amended 1065 (with the amended box checked) can be e-filed.

I have a related question/ problem:

 I filed 1065 and K1’s for the LLC owned by my spouse and me in MA.
 (Later I found out we can probably avoid 1065 and file this business activity in our joint personal tax return).

there was a line 14a on page 4 of 1065 was NOT correct, and this error seems from Box G of Sch K-1 “information about the partner”: “General partner” should have been checked, but I checked “Limited partner” instead. 
this further leads to missing of value in line 14 of Sch K-1(self-employment earnings), as far as I understand. 

the above PE tax return has already been accepted by Fed and state of MA. 

now can anyone advise how to correct the mistake? Should I do 1065X?

the PE tax was prepared using TurboTax business desktop version. Should I Amend , then print and mail? 
thank you all.
