You have to first recreate the actual wrong original return. You can use the Forms Mode. Then when it matches each line that you really filed you have to tell Turbo Tax you will mail it so it thinks it was filed. Then you can amend it.
I do not think that will work. "...you have to tell Turbo Tax you will mail it so it thinks it was filed...", yes, you cannot amend with the desktop if the TurboTax thinks the return was not filed, HOWEVER, by telling it that you paper filed (mailed) also tells it that you did NOT e-file so e-file the amended return will not be allowed and there is no way to do that. In order to e-file an amended return the .tax2019 data file must show that the return was e-filed and accepted either by downloading the .tax2019 file from a prior filed online account or an original e-filed desktop software.
