When mailing my 1040X amended return, do I need to mail my original 1040 with it?

[SusanY1]

You only need to include the 1099-G if it shows any tax withholding.

Thank you!  So Then if that is the only change, do I only need to mail the 1040X?

[JotikaT2]

The only items they ask for are supporting copies of source documents that reflect a change on the tax return that you originally filed and resulted in the 1040X.

Question I had filed my state and federal return way to early. I had gotten a 1099-g form and I was wondering where do I put the income of that on a 1040X? Or how do I amend that form? 

[Drew35]

So if I have a income from unemployment compensation and I had federal and state withheld from my checks for my taxes where would I put those totals on a 1040X amend form if I didn’t put them on my federal and state tax?

After you click on the link to amend your tax return, Federal and state taxes withheld from unemployment payments may be entered in box 4 (Federal) or box 11 (State) of the screen Now fill in the rest of your 1099-G details.

This is the same screen where unemployment compensation from box 1 is entered.

In TurboTax Online, access unemployment by the following:

• Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
• Across the top of the screen, click on Wages & Income.
• Under Your income, scroll down to Unemployment and paid family leave (1099-G).
• Click on Review or Edit/Add to the right.
• Follow the screens to Now fill in the rest of your 1099-G.

@Drew35

The links below will show you how to amend and how to add your 1099G.

Where do I report a 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave?

[mwarney]

Still unclear....  Yes, that's what the IRS says BUT the original 1040 is one of the forms that is changed.  So it still isn't clear whether or not to include 1040 with 1040X.

How do I find the 1040 x in he Turbotax software?

[mwarney]

Go to "forms" and search for "1040-X.  Or you could use the "Walk through" section and look for "Other tax situations- Other Tax Forms."

[fanfare]

Do not include your old 1040 nor your revised 1040 because the Form 1040-X reflects any changes there and becomes your new tax return.

Include in order only those Sequence Numbered tax forms and Schedules that changed or were added due to your amendment.
Attachment Sequence Number is on all the forms and Schedules that come after 1040.

If you are using TurboTax you have to do this by visual comparison. The program won't break out those pages for you.

Were you able to recieve your refund for the Missing child credit ? 

[JayKepps]

Would sure be nice if TurboGlitch didn't print out all the unneeded pages wouldn't it?  This should be submitted as a BUG.

From the print menu, if a person chooses "RETURN ONLY" then THAT's the only thing they should get.
