You can adjust your tax return by starting an amendment, but if this is the first time you are mailing anything to the IRS for 2022, you can't send the 1040-X with your return.
As ThomasM pointed out, you can simply discard the paper copy of your 1040-X and mail the updated 1040. You can also delete the 1040-X from your return.
If you are using TurboTax Online:
- Open your return, scroll down to Tax Tools on the bottom of the left side menu.
- Select Tools.
- Click on Delete a form (third on the list at the bottom of the screen).
- Find Form 1040-X on the list of forms.
- Click Delete to the right.
- Confirm your Delete.
- Click Continue in the lower right.
- Click Continue with my return.
If you are using the Desktop version (disc or download):
- Click Forms toward the upper right corner.
- Find Form 1040-X on the list on the left.
- Highlight it, then click Delete in the lower left corner of the reading pane.
- Click on Step by Step in the upper right corner to return to the interview.
