Why are you filing an amendment if you have not filed an original return? Is it due to the non-filer form?
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.
However, here are two other options:
- 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 to your 1040 that you filed a return to get the stimulus check and that this is a corrected return.
- You can simply write ‘1040X amended return’ on the top of the paper 1040.
