Do not include a copy of your original return with your Form 1040-X. You include with Form 1040-X any form or schedule that has changed from the original form or schedule. Form 1040-X is placed on top and the forms and schedules that you need to include are placed behind Form 1040-X. The order is based on the number in the upper right hand corner of each form or schedule.
According to the IRS,
When filing an amended or corrected return:
- Include copies of any forms and/or schedules that you're changing or didn't include with your original return.
- To avoid delays, file Form 1040-X only after you've filed your original return. Generally, for a credit or refund, you must file Form 1040-X within 3 years after the date you timely filed your original return or within 2 years after the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.
- Allow the IRS up to 16 weeks to process the amended return.
