    Did you mean to do an amended? If not look at the profile and remove the check marks for amended.

    me too!  I've gone through everything and all are marked correctly.  Did you have any success in clearing the error?

    Very possibly the diagnostic will not clear. It is informational and you can just ignore it and go on with your your life (and your e-filing.)

    I can't e-file without clearing the error message.  I already e-filed Fed and now i realize i should have done state as well so i unchecked federal amendment and still have error.
