Can I e-file a 1040X when the original taxable income amount is zero? I keep getting the diagnostic that the original or corrected amount cannot be negative.

Technically, the standard deduction reduces AGI below zero but even when I enter "0" I get the same critical diagnostic.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
