Help - Filing Form 1040X in 2020 program

[2021whyagain]

To amend a return I prepared in a prior year on ProSeries.  I can do so in the year the error occured correct--as in 2019?  and it will efile from that year properly? 

Also, Error IND-689-01 it mentions it will not transmit with the wrong date next to the primary signature.  But the signature field is not highlighted except for the preparer prior to transmit.

Do we attach a signed copy by the taxpayer prior to sending the Form 1040X?

1) Yes amend in the year the error occurred.  Since 2019 is still open for efiling, yes you can efile the amendment.

2) Check the date on the Federal Information Worksheet - Part VI    it must have a current date

3) No did not need to attach signed copy BUT do need a new 8879 signed

Why*Keep*Doing*This      I ask myself that same thing every January 1st.

Thank you!  I thought I had tried that, but will verify.

Do you really question this every January 1st?!?!  Lord knows I am about over it!!  32 years later and maybe I want to be something different when I grow up!!  Best of All this Season!

I've been at this for 36 years... I blame menopause for my "I hate what I'm doing" attitude.  The client's have become more demanding every year.

Yes!  Amen to both of those!
