No one here can email you.  If you used TurboTax Online, simply log in to your account and select “Amend a return that was filed and accepted.” If you used our CD/download product, sign back into your return and select “Amend a filed return.” You must file a separate Form 1040-X for each tax return you are amending.

 

Once you start the amendment you will be able to add your additional 1098 form.  If your Federal amendment affects your State return, then you will also have to amend your State return.

when I am amending my 2021 return to include some interest income that got left out, should the amount I enter be the total corrected amount of interest, or should it be only the difference between the correct amount and what I entered on my original return?  It's unclear in the Easy Step menu what I'm supposed to enter, and when I look at the "Forms" view of the 1040X the "Original Return" column is all zeroes.  I can't tell if it gets populated automatically somewhere in the process.

It would only be the difference between the correct amount and what you entered on the original return.
