On the 1st amended return in July 2022, my distribution is included with the amount in Box 12a as a deduction.

You can't do that. Did you use itemized deductions (Schedule A) or the standard deduction? If you used itemized deductions, where on Schedule A is the $40,000?
Was it your cousin's tax person who added the $40,000 to the deductions on 1040 line 12a? If so, don't go back to him. Maybe your friend who has the tax prep company can straighten this out for you. You will probably end up paying back the additional refund from the first amended return.
You still haven't said what was wrong on the original tax return that made you amend it. Was it just that your cousin's tax person said you could get a bigger refund? What was on 1040 lines 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, and 12a on your original return, before it was amended?

You can probably go ahead and file your 2022 tax return without waiting to get 2021 straightened out. The only reason to wait would be if there is some sort of carryover from 2021 that might be affected by the second amended return, such as a capital loss carryover or a charitable contribution carryover.
