Do I need to send the adjusted 1040 form with my 1040X amended form?

[mrothberg]

I originally e-filed my 1040, but did a 1040X amendment. In the PDF, I got the 1040X and a new 1040 with the correct new numbers - do I need to send this to the IRS with to 1040X.

[theresastephens5]

Do I have to sign the new 1040 as well as the amendment (1040X) or just the 1040X?

[Bsch4477]

Probably just the 1040X but no harm in signing both.

[JudyB1]

Don't confuse the IRS. Just send in the 1040X.

[coloradormh]

What does the IRS want, both 1040X and the corrected 1040 (as it IS a changed form now)? The IRS site is not clear.

Do not include your old 1040 nor your revised 1040 because the Form 1040X reflects any changes there and becomes your new tax return. This is key. In the  Instructions for Assembling your amended return  I can't find  anything stated there that  contradicts this interpretation.

Where in Turbo Tax can I find the 1040X form to complete in order to amend my 2016 tax return? I entered $14,000  less property tax paid on my 2016 return. Turbo tax stated that they check and guarantee that returns are correct so I do not understand why they did not discover that every year for more than 10 years now my property tax paid has been over $10,000 but in 2006 I incorrectly entered $4,527 but my return was still accepted and they nor the IRS discovered that amount was an understated figure. Note: I did not relocate of moved during the tax year.

You need to purchase 2016 TurboTax  CD/Download to amend 2016 tax return with TurboTax.
Important to get a paper copy of your originally filed return before making any changes.

[Bsch4477]

Yes.  Any form that is changed due to the amended return must be sent to the IRS along with the 1040X.

Trying to find out the same information - this question appears to be asked a number of times, with different answers each time.  Some say send in the 1040 because it has changed.  Some say send in only 1040x and others say attach w2's, 1099's etc to the 1040x and send that in.  Does anyone know for sure (or does anyone know what happens if you send in forms that they do not actually need)?

[snuggles8783]

I totally agree with you proder74. Seems no one here can give us a definite answer to this question. I even checked the irs.gov website and it's just as vague as can be. What is going on here?!?!

[sgilmore888]

Similar question - what form needs to be signed? I know the 1040X needs to be signed, but what about the 1040 that I believe needs to be included (since it changed and TTX printed it with my "print forms to file"). Does that get signed also?

I called the IRS today (3/10/2014). My situation: Added a W2, which changed my AGI. I asked about the updated form 1040. The IRS rep said no, do not include the updated 1040 with the 1040X.

[Jerry-B]

Sorry. I was signed in, but "null" showed up in my response. Userid is jerboe.
