Question

TurboTax finalized an amendment I didn't tell it to finalize

8 months ago, I thought that I might want to amend my 2022 taxes. I started an amendment, entered a change to see what the result would be, decided not to do it, and didn't finish the process. Now I have an amendment that I need to make. I went through the whole process, but my 1040X is showing the amended version of my taxes from April, the one that I never filed.

So my 1040X is simply wrong. But also my amended taxes are wrong because they are based off an amendment that I never filed. I am completely lost as to how to handle this.

Help??

[BTW I posted another similar post but it was long and harder to follow re my 2023 taxes, so I'm posting this shorter request for help hoping that it'll get a reply]

So I’m assuming you are doing this in the 2022 Desktop program? Open the original .tax2022 file (the one you downloaded from Online with the first amendment you started). Then delete the 1040X. In the Desktop program all you have to do is go to Forms mode and delete the 1040X. Then manually take the changes out to put the return back to the original return you actually filed. Then you can amend properly.
