You can follow the instructions here for the 1040-X. If you choose to mail the 1040-X, you would only need to mail the 1040-X. 

 

Please let us know if we can further assist you.

Does this still apply if I amended my tax forms for this year?

Yes. The IRS and state already have a copy of your 1040 when you completed the return. If they need any additional documents, they will send you a letter by mail requesting those.
