never sent in my rejected return, do I send the original return or the amended return?

[Clairv0yance]

So I have quite a bit of a situation going on, 

I e-filed my taxes a month ago through turbotax and it got immediately rejected. The issue being that my date of birth does not match the one in IRS files. I went ahead and contacted social security services and sent the form and birth certificate they needed to fix my DOB. Meanwhile, I was able to print out my return from turbo tax (I came across a forum here that couple people mentioned they would just send it through mail having the same issue). I never sent the printed out return though I just held onto it, but I guess printing it out menat finalizing my return even though it was rejected. I then received a mail from SSS confirming that my DOB is now corrected. Now, I am trying to file my taxes I amended as it was the only option left  while having received the 1098 forms that I missed adding on the original return.  

I have not sent any returns via mail so far. I still have the printed out original return, and I have also downloaded the new amended return. My amended return says $0 and has listed much higher gross income. There is however an amount of money on number 18 on my amend form.  I paid partially less than half the educational expenses this year. I also never received the first two stimulus checks (was filed as a dependent up until this year) 

I am not sure what I'm supposed to do right now. Do I send my original return that was missing the 1098 form information? Do I send the amended one? Do I send both?

If you haven't filed your original return then you will have to file the original return, please try these steps to open your return back up:

1. In TurboTax Online, sign into your account.
2. Select Tax Home in the left menu.
3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
4. Select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this opens the return back up)

If you still have issues then please see: What is the TurboTax phone number?

you may be REJECTED again, because it takes some time for the IRS to sync up with that change.

You have till May 17th to file.

OR, Oct 15 if you request an extension.

you can't amend what the IRS does not have.

You want to e-File, not mail, because paper returns are way backed up.

OF COURSE, Oct 15 is along way off.
