After you file

You can use the filling deadline date as the date you filed your original 2020 tax return.  Please see File an amended return

 

I am including a supporting document used to prove why I am amending the Form 1040A, as a e-file in the first place. That supporting document is the old copy of the entire copy of the e-filed Form 1040A,  specifically with the section for Education Credits

You do not have to send the entire original 1040-A.  Simply make a statement as to why you are amending the return.

 

Given that I signed, and dated the new version of the Form 1040A that is purposed to replace the old version of the Form 1040A, should the old version of the Form 1040A contain my signature and the date as well, even though it's treated as a supporting document?

You do not have to sign nor include your original 1040-A.  The IRS has it.  You should enter the reason for the change and include only any documentation regarding the Education Credit.
