I amended my return by adding Child Care expenses. As the result I need to send 1040X and changed form 2441 to IRS. Do I need to send changed 1040 as well?

[ChristinaS · Accepted solution]

Yes. The revised 1040 is included with nearly every 1040X amendment. You send any forms updated by the changes made. A credit on Form 2441 definitely impacts the 1040.

I have receipt from the Child Care provider. Do I need to submit it as well with the amended return?

[ChristinaS]

No, you don't submit receipts with tax returns. Just have it with your tax papers "in case".

Do my wife and I need to sign the new 1040?
