Can I just write amended on my 1040 form?

[Critter · Accepted solution]

No ... the amended return MUST be filed on a form 1040X.

[Critter]

Select a tax year for specific amending instructions.

Keep in mind: You have 3 years from the date you filed your return (or 2 years after you paid the tax due, whichever is later) to file an amended return, which means you don't have to get it done by the April 15 filing deadline.
