I have heard similar advice before, but it creates confusion for the following reason.
The IRS website states:
- Include copies of any forms and/or schedules that you're changing or didn't include with your original return.
Well? Isn't the person's NEW 1040 a "Revised Form"? And it certainly wasn't included with the original return. So it should be attached to the 1040X right?
The only question is, should it be signed or will that confuse the IRS? Alternatively, perhaps for this NEW 1040 attachment, and any other revised forms/schedules, the word "AMENDED" should be written across the top in big red letters?
Thoughts?
