How can I revised form 2555 for filed tax return

I filed a tax return with "Foreign earned Income" form 2555T. Following year, same taxpayer told me that he had some Housing Exclusion for prior year that I missed. I amended the tax return and IRS advised me that I have to do REVISED FORM 2555.

Is there a special form for revised form 2555 or just simply

write on the top of the form REVISED FORM 2555

There is no special revised form 2555 ... what they mean is you had to send a new form 2555 with the corrected information with the amended return to support your position.

How can the 2555 form be amended electronically on turbo tax?

The 2555 is part of the total return so when you amend the return you need to address the foreign income section to affect change to the 2555.

I found it. I was wondering why I am not able to add 2 W2 employers names and addresses for which i have not paid federal taxes. There are for small amount anyway like $50 or $100. I only see my main W2 employer on tax 2555 form.
