Hey so I am trying to apply for FAFSA for 2017-2018 school year. Originally I filed a 1040EZ for 2015, however, I messed up and worked with a tax agent to file an amended 1040X. So, when I am applying for FAFSA, the irs.gov says that I need to use my "AGI" and earned income figures in my AMENDED 1040X, which I am going to do. However, there is no option for 1040X when prompted with "What income tax return did you file in 2015?" So, if I originally filed a 1040EZ, and then an amended 1040X with a tax agent, does that mean my 2015 return is still considered a 1040EZ?

Use the 1040... then look at the new form 1040 that was produced in the tax file with the 1040X to get the numbers you need from the lines they want.
