Your form 1040/A/EZ/SR is blank, illegible, missing or damaged and we can't process it.

I have already submitted the 1040. So I don't know what's going on. Please help!

Well ... that line is pretty clear ... resend a signed copy of the return ... the 1040 + all attachments and make sure they are legible. It is possible that the return was damaged in the mail or part of the return wandered away from the rest of it ... please comply with the request asap as the return will not be processed until you do.

Thank you!! Yeah they marked 1, 6, 29 on the 3531. They should have just marked 1. Marking 6 made it more confusing. The rest of the 1040 looks intact and good. I mailed it in a nice thick brown envolope. So should I just reprint the first page of the 1040 and resign it? Or do I need to reprint everything?
