To prepare an electronic Form 1120S and 1120C amended return, complete the steps below.

1. Amend the client's tax data as necessary, making sure you adhere to the guidelines for entering data.
2. Click the Electronic Filing folder to open Screen ELF.
3. Confirm that the File this return electronically field is marked.
4. Enter a date in the Signature date field, if applicable.

5. If you are not preparing an electronic amended return for a state return, enter X in the Suppress the creation of: State electronic file when only filing the federal return, extension or FinCEN Form 114 electronically field.

   Notes

   • When you create the federal electronic file, UltraTax CS automatically creates the state electronic file, if appropriate. UltraTax CS generates a state FYI diagnostic message that indicates a state electronic file was created. You can file a paper return for the state and suppress the creation of the state electronic file. With the exception of Portable Document Format (PDF) attachments for electronic files, the IRS will not permit you to submit additional paperwork to the taxing authority.
   • For state electronic filing information, refer to the State Electronic Filing Guide on our website.
6. To request an electronic funds withdrawal to pay a balance, complete the Electronic funds withdrawal for amended returns: Requested payment date field. Also, complete the bank information fields in Screen Bank in the General folder.
7. To review the diagnostic messages in the Federal Diagnostics window, click any item displayed in the window to open the corresponding screen to address the diagnostic message. Verify that you have cleared all Critical diagnostic messages and have reviewed the FYI diagnostic messages.
