I received an ERC credit for 2020 and 2021. I went into my turbo tax files and amended the return. However, it does not give me an option to e-file. Is there an issue with this?

You cannot e-file a past year amended return. You have to send those past year amended returns by mail. Use a mailing service like certified mail so you will know the IRS received them since you will be waiting for a long time for them to be processed.

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
