If you submitted the non-filer form, it was processed by the IRS as an original filed return. Any subsequent filing cannot be filed electronically; it has to be mailed in. If you file your return with a Form 1040X in order to rectify this, it will be processed like an amended return.
However, you don’t need to fill out the 1040X to get your return processed. All you need to do is:
- Indicate in a cover letter on your 1040 that you filed a return to get the stimulus check, and that this is a corrected return.
Or
- You can just write ‘1040X amended return’ on the top of the paper 1040.
Internal Revenue Manual 21.5.3.4 General Claims procedures states: ‘An informal written inquiry that includes everything necessary to input a correct adjustment’ will be processed.
