Sorry for responding almost a year later; somehow I did not get any notifications of your replies at the time. So, resurrecting that old thread - why do you feel that filing the form as part of amended return violates the procedure? Is amended return not considered being a "timely filed return", even when I do it within days of initial return having been processed? I didn't see this explicitly prohibited, or even discouraged, in the filing instructions, and I don't feel this violates "the spirit of the law".
