1040-X

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

You don't go directly to a 1040X.  You do the amending process.  

If your first return was efiled and Accepted or you mailed it, then you need to do an Amended tax return to correct or add new info. You need to wait for the original return to be fully processed and you get the first refund or paid the tax due. Then you can Amend. Be sure to save a copy of your original return before you start the amended return. The Amended return will overwrite the original return.
