I am trying to efile an amended return in 2023 Proseries.  When I go to e-file, attach PDF files, the "add attachment" button is grayed out.  The original return has been accepted by the IRS.  Can I not add a PDF to the amended efile transmittal?

Im not sure you can attach to an amendment...what are you attaching?  Are you sure its necessary? If youre trying to submit some kind of required back up documentation, you should really send it by mail. 

EF 1040Xs dont get processed any quicker than a paper one, they print them out and they go in the stack like any other, you just save on the mailing time.


PS:  I had a client get  a letter last week, we EF a 1040X in March, the letter said Thank you for your 1040X received June 7th, but you forgot to sign the return, please send a new copy of the 1040X with a signature...so they cant even tell the difference between whats been mailed and whats been EF'd.

Oy.  Thank you for the reply.  The docs must be attached, it's a 1042 election.  I have opted to paper file.
