TurboTax instructions do not do a good job of informing users that they need to make a backup copy of their return before they do any amendment.  If you do not have a backup copy of your return all you can do is stop the amendment and then undo any changes you made.  I believe the software should be altered so that a copy of the original is saved when a user begins to amend.   In your case you may have to start over from scratch, then mark the return as being mailed, but do not mail anything. Save a copy of your work. Then go through the amend process again.

Can you clarify if you are using TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Online?
