A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 3-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:

Why? Did you receive another W-2 or realize there is some income you did not enter when you filed your 2018 return?  Has your first return been accepted?  If so, you have to amend it.

I had misplace my 2018 W-2 (which I heard could be filed this year) & I found it so I wanted to add it on there, plus I got a 1098-T (I think that’s right) form from my school to be filed & I wanted to add that as well. My previous return has already been accepted & issued.

Then see the information about amending, since that is what you need to do.
