After you file

In your case, if you are mailing your Amended return, send in Form 1040X, Schedule D, and Form 8949, along with any payment due. 

 

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.
