I received an amended consolodated1099 from etrade. This was because of a late K-I (form 1065) - which was also mailed to me. How do I amend return?

There was a small distribution.  Can I input the amended Etrade form, or how do I put this one extra in there?  Clear as mud???

You'll enter the schedule K-1 and 1099s directly into the software (the boxes in the software will match the boxes on your forms). However, you shouldn't enter your changes until you've started the amendment process and your tax estimator goes to zero.

When you say amended form, if you mean you received a "corrected" form (the 1099s should state "corrected" explicitly). If so, when you go to the related section (directions included below), you'll see a summary of all forms entered in this section. Click Edit to enter your new corrected information. Alternatively, you can click Delete and then Add another form. Reminder: only do this after you've started the amendment and tax estimator has zeroed out. 

To amend your return, select 2016 and the type of software you used (online or desktop) and follow the instructions that result: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288565
