At this time there isn't a actual change to my return. I filed an SS-8 to get a determination from the IRS regarding my employment status of contract vs employee. The instructions for the SS-8 suggested filing the 1040X as a protective claim for refunds in the event the IRS makes the determination in my favor. This protective claim will allow for me to file a request for refund of prior years payment of taxes that may go beyond the years allowed.
