After you file

Regarding what happened, consider these talking points:

  1. Form 1040X can be e-filed. See: Can I e-file my 1040X to amend my return?
  2. Since it has already been checked that a second Amended Return was begun, then confirm what has been prepared so far for submission.
    1. To check what is listed as a tax balance owed, download your tax return and check Form 1040X, page 1, Line 20 to see what amount was reported.
    2. To get your 2020 Form 1040X download, from the left menu, select Tax Home. Then, follow these steps:

      1. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and Show.
      2. Navigate to the option to download the PDF of your return.
        • The forms are named in the top left and lower right hand corners of each page.
  3. To confirm no amended return was e-filed, check: IRS: Where's My Amended Return?
  4. For options on how to submit payment, see: IRS: Paying Your Taxes.
