Amending an Amended Return
📚 What This Guide Covers
This guide explains when you can duplicate Form 1040X and how to amend an already-amended return.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Have your original amended Form 1040X information available so you can lock and reuse the correct figures.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Duplicate the amended return (if needed)
Form 1040X can be duplicated if you need to amend an Amended return.
Step 2: Amend the Amended return
To amend an Amended return:
- If you want to save the first Amended return, go into the first Form 1040X and lock the figures in column C by pressing the F8 override key on each entry. Go to each entry in column C and press F8 on page 1 of Form 1040X.
- Next, open a new Form 1040X. Mark the Income and Deductions checkbox to lock in the original amounts.
- If the state return is affected, open the state amend form and lock the original amounts as well before making changes to the return.
- Make the necessary changes in the return, and then click Save.
❌ Common Errors
If the amounts you change do not carry as expected, confirm you locked the original figures in the correct columns before editing.
