After you file

psk --

I agree that the January 2020 version of Form 1040-X looks very similar to the July 2021 version of Form 1040-X.

The IRS is now taking 20 weeks to process amended returns. I don't want to take a chance that the IRS will reject my amended return on the wrong version of the form and wait another 20 weeks for the IRS to process the amended return after I resubmit it on the correct version of the form.

I downloaded the July 2021 version of Form 1040-X today. The PDF is a fillable PDF so you can type in the data and save the form. I typed in the data from the Form 1040-X January 2020 version that TT generated.

TT is no longer accepting e-filing of 2020 amended returns (the window closed on October 15, 2021). Since I have to mail the Form 1040-X and supporting documents anyway, it made sense to me to mail the Form 1040-X July 2021 version that I created instead of the January 2020 version that TT generated.
