So far there are two posts under your username edmondoncone. One about how to amend and one to complain.
You cannot amend a tax return until it has been fully processed by the IRS. If you send in an amended return too soon you risk confusing the IRS and delaying your refund for months.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 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:
