E-filing options for Amended 1120-S for tax year 2024

I successfully e-filed my 2024 1120-S. However, I now need to file an amended 1120-S, but when I attempt to e-file, I receive a message stating, "You have no returns eligible for e-filing." Will the option to e-file an amended return become available at some point, or must it be filed by paper mail?

According to the TurboTax Help Article below (which was "Updated 1 week ago" as of 02-11-2025)  you can e-file an amended 1120-S in TurboTax Business.  The "Amend" function in TurboTax Online is not yet available (expected February 15) so the e-file function for an amended S-Corp may not yet be available either.  I would check back on the February 15 to see if it is available. 

 

How do I amend my federal tax return with TurboTax Business Desktop?

 

Note:  You can e-file an amended an S-Corp 1120-S, a C-Corp 1120X, and an Estate or Trust return.  You cannot e-file an amended Partnership 1065X in TurboTax Business.

well apparently  it is not up and running or its not working properly.  I have amended and when i go to efile it is still connected to my original accepted filing and says that its efiled when the amended was not efiled, but because it is attached to the original one that was efiled, even though i renamed the file, it is still attaching the efiled status of filed, which could cause huge issues for TT because if there program is going to show its efiled when it was not because they are attaching it to the original efiling then they may have some liablility there.

I also made a whole new file and entered everything from scratch as a new and then check amended and it took me through to efile and then said there are form that cannot be efiled you have to mail, but the IRS tells you that you must efile the amendment.

Turbo tax could fix this issue with an update, but it is not happening yet and i cant file my personal because i have to wait for my amended business to be filed.

IN the same exact Boat here. Were you able to figure this out? Were you able to file amended 1120S return or did you have to mail it (indeed IRS website says that you supposedly have to e-file an amendment)?

Appreciate the info. I also do not see the Amended e-File option yet. I'll just snail mail it for now.

The IRS rules state that amended 1120S returns must be e-filed, so it's best to wait a few weeks to see if the e-file option becomes available in TurboTax Business. You have up to three years to amend Form 1120S, so there is no rush to e-file.

Since when and where is that cite? The instructions clearly indicate that an amended 1120-S can be printed and mailed.
