Listed below are the locations in Data Entry where you can mark a state return as Amended. Federal Form 1040-X can be e-filed, however, only certain state amended returns are eligible for e-filing. The e-filing information is for the current tax year program and may not be applicable to prior years. See state-specific help for more information. Additional states may enable e-filing at a later date or may not be available in prior years of Drake Tax.

Superseded

To file a superseded CA return, mark the box Superseded return on the CA > X screen.

Important This checkbox does not show anywhere on the return. Schedule X is not produced for a superseded return.

A superseded return is different from an amended return. A superseded return is a modified return filed subsequent to the originally filed return and one that is filed WITHIN the filing period (including extensions). By contrast, an amended return is a corrected return filed subsequent to the originally filed return and one that is filed AFTER the expiration of the filing period (including extensions). Only a total of three superseded and amended returns can be e-filed per taxpayer per tax year. As an example, if this is the taxpayer's first superseded return, he or she can only e-file two more returns, whether they be superseded, amended, or a combination of the two.
