I need to file form 1040x using the Turbotax PC download version.
I efiled my original tax forms using Turbo tax PC version.
The PC version says I must use paper return to file. The IRS accepts efile 1040x.
You support it in the online version of TurboTax Can you help?

You can Efile your 1040X using TurboTax Desktop.

The 1040X won't be finalized until March 25th, so you may want to wait until after that to prepare your amended return.

Be sure to save a copy of your originally filed return.

You can amend a 2023 tax return at any time. However, if the 2023 amended return has a tax refund the you have to file the return on or before April 15, 2027 to receive the refund.

To amend a return

Some quick ground rules:

Be sure the original return was filed and accepted.
DO NOT go back into the return or change anything before you start the amendment process.
Gather everything you need before you start.
Complete the entire amendment process before you log out.
Starting with 2020 tax returns you can E-File a 1040-X amended tax return. All prior years must be printed and mailed.

You can correct a return that you've already filed and had accepted. Select the year that applies and use this guide to proceed.
