No you cannot fax an amended return.  Amended returns must be printed, signed and mailed after you prepare your Form 1040X.


 It will take about 3-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:

That's not true. I received a message that I was missing my 8962/1095 form. I amended it and faxed it to the IRS as instructed by the IRS.

You had a different situation.  The IRS asked you to amend and gave you a fax number.
