Received Letter Back after Amending my 2020 Return

I received a letter saying, "Schedule 1 is incomplete or missing from your return. Complete the schedule with information that supports the $x,xxx on line 8 of your 1040."

 

My return was completed with TurboTax and then mailed into the IRS office (amended my original)

I originally reported my unemployment income and paid the taxes due on that. 

 

My schedule 1 includes:

Line 3: Business Income (equal to line 8 of my 1040)

Line 7: My Unemployment Income ($X)

Line 8: Other Income shows UCE (-$X amount of unemployment income) -- cancels out line 7

Line 9: Shows the value of my business income ($BusInc + Unemployment - Unemployment = $businc)

Line 9 is equivalent to my line 8 on 1040 (line 8 says "other income from schedule 1, line 9) Correctly corresponds

 

I am not sure what was done improperly. I have attempted to call the IRS line repeatedly with no luck. 

 

Does anyone know what the issue was? Or how to resolve.

Schedule 1,2,3 showing any non-zero amounts are required with1040 and with 1040-X if anything changed.

Did you fail to attach it to your mailing?

If you have a 1099 from state showing amount on line 7 attach a copy of that document.

I included all the schedules. I definitely attached it in my mailing as well as the 1099. I am going to go ahead an fax them again with all the documentation. Not sure if they would have missed the document during the initial check (idk if it is a automated or human process)

It's all done by hand.

For whatever reason, IRS refuses to adopt optical scanner technology, as used by most states.
