After you file

I sounds reasonable to me but why do the instruction on IRS.gov say

 

To complete Form 1040-X, you will need:

 

  • Form 1040-X and these separate instructions;

  • A copy of the return you are amending (for example, 2021 Form 1040), including supporting forms, schedules, and any worksheets you completed;

  • Additional supporting forms, schedules, and any worksheets for the return you are amending that you will need to complete to show your changes;
