    Hi kmr,

     

    To correct the situation, you can change the return back to in progress to clear validation errors. Once done, you can now delete amendment return and clear validation errors from the original return and then create amendment return, checked the amd schedules, mark it as lodged and then create the second amendment.

     

    Feel free to post again anytime if you require further assistance.
