First I need to paper file 2023 1040x to correct capital loss carry over numbers,

this number will change 2024 Schedule D Line 6, Line 7 numbers.

 

I know paper file has long processing time,  if I file 2024 return with correct numbers (not original numbers), will my return can be accepted?  or I need to wait for my 2023 1040x got processed.  Thank you!

    Yes, you can e-file your 2024 tax return with the correct numbers as though you had filed the 2023 correctly. This would not cause it to reject. It should be accepted with the correct numbers. It is not necessary to wait on the 2024 return until your amended 2023 is completed.

    Once the 2023 return is amended file it and at some point it will be reconciled with your 2024 return but not quickly.

    so, if I paper filed 2023amend, should I wait for several days to make sure the mail has been accepted, which I can check  the status on IRS? 

    Then efile 2024?

    @payamps You can file your 2024 tax return without waiting for the 2023 amendment to be accepted.

    @payamps   If you efile 2024 you will need to enter the 2023 AGI from the ORIGINAL return, not the amended return.     The amended return will take  over 4 months to process.  File your 2024 with the new correct amounts.  

     

    Your amended return won't  show accepted or rejected.  That is only for efiled returns.  It can take awhile for the amended return to show up in the IRS computer.  Are you expecting a refund on the amended return?

     

    Normally amended returns take 16 weeks (4 months) to process. 3 weeks after filing you can check an amended return here.

    my 2023 AGI does not change if I amend 2023 to correct capital loss carryover, 

    so I won't get more refund or need to pay money in 2023 amended. 

     

    So in my situation, I just need to paper file 2023 amended, and efile 2024 return with the correct carryover amounts, at the same time?

    Yes, that is correct.  As @DianeW777 you don't need to wait for the 2023 return to be accepted. You can go ahead and file both the 2023 and 2024 return now.
