In my scientific humble opinion I think it is fine to just send the 1040x without the original 1040 as my 1040 was e filed and they already have that plus the 1040x is meant to replace the 1040. if you have any changed schedules those must be included or forms as well. depending on who you ask or what website you read it will tell you to attach original or revised 1040. irs instructions say attach original 1040. i think these rules may apply differently if you efiled the original 1040. i wish someone whos a tax expert gave a definitive answer that didnt use the words in general or sometimes. what a nightmare. i am for my federal sending the REVISED 1040 and the 1040x with w2 that was not on original e filing. and for my CA 540x im sending in my REVISED 540 and the 540x with all my w2s. turbo tax instructions only instruct you to send in the revised versions and do not state the need to send the original filings. this would make sense being they were already received. and the X is meant to replace all the originals. it might serve to confuse the geniuses if you send a lot of forms. makes sense that you should only have to send the revised forms with attached forms and schedules that were affected by the revisions given that they already received the original 1040 or 540 for state. where did you get your original 1040 or 540 CA from turbotax? i cant even find that to print my original again? hopes this helps somewhat. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE NOT TURBOTAX BUT A REAL CPA SAY SOMETHING!
