Before you amend, you may want to archive the return as it currently exists so that the original return is preserved.

To archive the return:

1. Go to View/Print mode in the return.

2. At the top, select Archive Client Return from the Documents drop list.

3. Enter a name that describes the return, such as Original Return or Return as e-Filed.

The return is now archived and available for restoration if necessary.

To produce the amended return on the CA 565 or CA 568, select Amended Return under line G on federal screen 1 (Name, Address, and General Info.).

Complete the amended return as necessary.
