1040 SUPERSEDING RETURN

I need to file a superseding return for an individual.  I recall the ProSeries What's new said it was done differently than an amended return.  When I "Ask ProSeries" in the program it provides bogus/wrong answers from years ago (i.e. you can't e-file an amended return or superseding return).  It seemed that it was simple to do, but that was months ago and I don't recall the process.

1040X filed prior to the due date is processed as a superseded return anyhow, theres really no difference.

If you open the return and then go to forms and grab the 1040X, the 2022 checkbox at the top of it says 2022 or Superseded.  Mark that box, make your changes then go to the Fed Info Worksheet and check the EF Superseded return box

I don't have a citation for this, but I have something stuck in my head that Intuit said it would be available in late February (or maybe even March???).

I just EFiled a 2022 superseded return on Thursday, no problems. 

It uses the 1040X form, and calls it superseded 1040X.

So you just did it like you would do an amended return?  I thought the webinar I attended said it was different than an amended return.  In prior years I did a 1040X, but wrote superseding on the top line.  I should have taken better notes.
