How do i print a previous amended tax return for FAFSA?

[Critter]

When you amend a return the 1040X takes the place of the original return.  If you did not keep a copy of the original return as a PDF before you started the amendment process you cannot get one thru TT at this late date.  Why do you need it ?  FASFA should required the most current return on the application.

They told me i need my signed 1040A form and 1040X form. I have obtained my 1040A but not my 1040X.

In the TT program, if you correctly amend a return, the amended return overwrites the original.   If you did the amended return using the Downloaded version then only you have a copy on the computer you used ... it is not saved in the online system.

From the perspective of a Financial Aid Administrator:

I talked to a parent last week who ran into this issue. She hadn't used the IRS Data Retrieval Tool on the FAFSA. The DRT would preclude the need for the original tax return and we would just need the amended return. However, since she didn't use the IRS DRT, we need both. The reason is that there is verifiable information that would not be present on the 1040X (for example: education credits.)

The student or parent could go to the IRS website and 'get trancript online' or follow directions for other ways to obtain the initial tax return transcript. Our national organization used this verbiage: IRS Tax Return Transcript and IRS Tax Account Transcript should be requested to complete verification.

This may also apply when the IRS has made a correction and the student/parent themselves did not amend the return.
