If you submitted the non-filer form, it was processed by the IRS as an original filed return with 0 income.  Any subsequent filing cannot be filed electronically; it has to be mailed in.

You have three options to correct this:

1. If you amend your return with a Form 1040X it will be processed like an amended return. 
2. You don’t need to fill out the 1040X to get your return processed.  All you need to do is indicate in a cover letter to your 1040 that you filed a return to get the stimulus check and that this is a corrected return.
3. Or, you can just write ‘1040X amended return’ on the top of the paper 1040.
