That really depends on the reason you're amending your return. Just briefly state your reason.

There are a number of checkboxes available on Schedule X; a couple of catch-all categories would be "Error on original return" or "Other," with an explanation.

Please see 2022 Instructions for Schedule X and Schedule X, found at Forms and publications for an breakdown of possible reasons.

Also see the TurboTax Help article How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed for instruction on how to amend your previously-filed tax return.
