Electronically Filing Amended State Returns

TaxSlayer Pro supports the electronic filing of state amended returns for the following states:

INDIVIDUAL:

AR DC LA MS NH OK TN2 WV
AZ GA MA MT NJ1 OR UT  
CA IA MD NC NM PA VA  
CO ID ME ND NY RI VT  
CT KY MI NE OH SC WI  


1 - NJ resident return only. (To amend NJ-1040NR, per the state instructions correct it, print it, write "Amended" at the top, and mail it.)
2 - TN INC 250 only.

Some states use a separate form ending in the letter X, and this form may have three columns similar to the 1040-X. Other states amend the original return by checking a check box in the return header to indicate that the return is being amended, or in the case of California including Schedule X with the return makes it an amended return. However it's done for a particular state, complete the amended return and if it's for one of the above states ensure the return is marked for electronic filing.

For instructions on how to amend federal and state returns at the same time, see the knowledgebase articles on amending an individual Form 1040 or 1040-SR in TaxSlayer Pro:

  • For the client, click the check box in the State Only column, confirming that you only want to send the state return. If a return includes multiple states, indicate which state(s) to transmit.
  • Transmit

To electronically file a state only business amended return, first mark the state return as an amended return. This designation is generally found in the Personal Information or Other Categories section of the state return. After the return has been marked as an amended return, from the main menu of the program select:

  • Business
  • Electronic Filing Menu
  • Transmit Electronic Return
  • Add Client - Select the client(s) whose state return(s) you wish to transmit, then select Done
  • For the client, click the check box in the State Only column, confirming that you only want to send the state return. If a return includes multiple states, indicate which state(s) to transmit.
  • Transmit
  • Connect

Once the return is transmitted, print the transmission confirmation report to paper or save as a PDF.
