Question

I need to file an amended 1040 for 2020, however I'm receiving a critical diagnostics, that the 1040-X is not included in this version. What version do I need?

I don't think you can amend 2020 until much later this month.

The IRS isn't ready for them yet.

I think someone asked last week.

I think you need to look into filing a "superseded" tax return.

This return then becomes your originally filed return.

True. But that needs to be paper filed. When available, a 1040X can be efiled.

Don't disagree, but filing a superseded return essentially fixes any "issue" and is then the original filed return; assuming it is filed timely (no extension).

This is an often overlooked resolution and sometimes an "issue" can't be handled with an amended return.

So depending on what the OP is needing to correct, this is a very viable option.

I don't see an "Amend Return" option in ProConnect; it is there for 2021.

@pwms2009 Are you looking for 1040x?

Start in Profile check the appropriate boxes for amendments

Input Return > grab the grey bar and the bottom and slide to the right to find Amended (1040-X)
