I ammended my 2019 tax return which was accepted just fine back in Feb. I received a 1099-B after (I didn't even think I would get one because the gain was only like $0.38). Being the proactive person that I am, I went and mailed in an ammended tax return with the 1099-B just for visibility sake, even though it wouldnt have resulted in any change in my actual return. In hindsight, I realize now I probably should have just left it alone and only done something on a reactionary basis if needed (which probably wouldn't have happened.) Nonetheless, I just got the 1040-X returned to me by the IRS today with the attached form (8009-A) with box 7 "other" checked that basically said there wasn't sufficient info outlining any changes, and to correct that info. They also wrote "incomplete" and the date on the 1040-X itself. So, I really don't know what else to include. The one thing I'll note is columns A, B and C (original amount, net change, and correct amount) on the 1040-X were blank as filled out via TurboTax. It seems this is referencing previous tax years that don't apply here and I assume they were left blank via TurboTax for a reason. The IRS highlighted these columns though as well, almost signifying I was supposed to put info here. The reality is there is no change, so is this the IRS's way of saying "yeah we're confused why you even sent this?" or are they really expecting me to complete this in some way and turn it back in again. I feel like I just made a bigger production out of nothing. Part of me just wants to say "forget it, so sorry for wasting your time" and just not do anything further unless prompted by them, but also worried I just put myself on the hook and they'll be expecting me to turn it back in again. There wasn't any due date noted in the return and it wasn't even certified mail, which makes me think even more that this is the least of their concerns. I told other people about it and they basically laughed at me for making a big deal out of $0.38 investment gain that would result in zero impact on my tax return. Should I just say foget it and go on my way, or try to complete it (still confused what I'm supposed to include) and turn it back in?
