Amended return shows different amounts on revised1040 and 1040X

[Ana131]

I amended my 2023 return using TT software, and I am ready to e-file.  However, I noticed that on the "Forms in my return", there is 1040X that shows the correct amount owed to me, (based on amount withheld and amount sent.) Then form 1040, (which changed from the original as I inputted numbers) shows an amount much lesser because it only shows the amount paid as withheld, and not the additional amount I paid when I filed original. 

Question is, when I e-file it, does TT send both forms (or all forms listed), or only 1040X?. Should I delete Form 1040 so it doesn't get sent to avoid confusion, or discrepancy as to what payment is due back to me?.

TurboTax will only transmit Form 1040X. 

 The "now adjusted" 1040 will be used for the staring point next year so the totals transferred to the 2025 TurboTax program are correct.

Thank you, that makes sense.

Another question, how do I attach Form 1116 to my amended return? Is there a way to do that on PART II, or somewhere else in the return? Or will turbotax send this form as well?  Form 1116 was not filed in my original return as I waited to complete Spanish taxes and then amend US taxes figuring out Form 1116 (first timer), so IRS does not have a copy of it at all.

An amended return includes the 1040x, any new forms, and any forms that were affected - except for the 1040, since it is being replaced. Filing it electronically is your safest  and quickest option.

You have two options:

• File the amended electronically
• Mail in the 1040x with the Form 1116 and any other forms that were changed. If you decide to mail it in, use tracking to ensure the safety of your information.

For either option, check your status at Where’s My Amended Return?
