Use a mailing service like certified mail to track so you will know it was received since you will have a long wait.

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

For information on amending your return go to How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year? Once you start the amendment process you will make additions or changes to your original return. You add self-employment income (and expenses, if applicable) the same way you would if you were reporting it on your original return. You will change your filing status but going to that section and editing that entry. The changes and additions will be summarized on Form 1040-X which will calculate any changes to your tax due or refund. The program will guide you through the process.
