  2. DO NOT go back into the return or change anything before you start the amendment process.
  3. Gather everything you need before you start.
  4. Complete the entire amendment process before you log out.
  5. Starting with 2019 tax returns you can E-File a 1040-X amended tax return.  All prior years must be printed and mailed.
