I am reading about all of these struggles to electronically submit an amended Federal return.  I "amended" a 2021 Federal return by adding a long term care insurance premium expense on a Schedule A.  Schedule A was not filed with the Federal return in 2021 because the standard deduction was higher.  The real reason I "amended" the 2021 Federal return was to have the long term care insurance expense get picked up by the NY return and create a credit on the NY return which did effectuate an amended 2021 NY return.  I am not even going to try to submit the NY amended return after reading about the struggles to electronically file an amended Federal return.  Unfortunately the taxpayers will be waiting a while for the additional NY refund!  Some things must be done the "old fashioned" way.
