I filed my taxes 3 days ago, but today I received a part in the mail that I was supposed to file so now I have to file an  Amended return, so what I want to know is when can I do it ?

Amendment instructions can be found here when it has been updated: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894381-how-to-amend-change-or-correct-a-return-you-already-filed

The form and amendment process is expected to be available within a couple weeks.

Note:

• Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
• You're free to cash your refund check or spend it once you have it. You don't need to wait for your amendment to finish processing, which can take another 3-4 months.
• If you owe money after amending, you'll just include payment with your mailed amendment form.
• And if your amendment results in a second refund, you'll get a check for the additional amount.
• An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed.  
• The IRS will take 12 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
• 3 weeks after you mailed your amendment, you can start tracking its progress at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? site.
