OK I called pro series and they explained that all 16 returns may not be effected. just that those are the max it could be.  so my office manager is going through the partial submission IDs to see which returns it would be. then i match the file (which would already have been changed with the update to the return that was filed.  if no change on the QBI form, then nothing to amend.  So I may still want to torch my software, but for now I hold off.
