I have e filed some 1040x amended returns with no problems. I know that you are not allowed to e file more than 2 1040x returns for the same year. It seems that the last update to the program is not allowing more than one amendment to be e filed. Is that correct? It is very frustrating to not have that information flagged in diagnostics. Is there any way around this, I need to file an amendment, the second one, and have it to IRS as soon as possible. The mailed in paper return will take too long.

Thank you for any input or advice you can provide.

Hi all, thanks for your patience. We weren't able to replicate this, but I got some feedback.

Check out this article under "How to amend a previously amended return": Amending an individual return (1040X) in ProSeries Review step 19, check the "check this box to file another federal amended return electronically" box. By doing so, it clears out the electronic filing status from completed to ready.

Mail or e-mail is about the same amount of processing time. Getting it right the first time is actually the best choice.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

I am amending the return on behalf of the original preparer who did the first amendment incorrectly also. I personally haven't had to amend a return that I prepared in a long time. I agree that returns should be done right the first time. I also believe that constructive criticism is a great tool but should only be given after the question asked has been answered. You should not respond unless you are answering my question!!

I didnt realize we ever had the ability to EF more than 1 1040X

In the past 10 years I think Ive only had to amend an amended return maybe twice and that was before they allowed Efiling amended returns.

@Nancy 16 We're looking into this. There's been a report of a rejected amended return's Return Type being changed from amended to Federal return. What does your amended Return Type say? Do you have any more details of how you're unable to e-file the amended for the second time?

Thanks for your help!
