🔍 Amend a previously amended return
Form 1040X can be duplicated if you need to amend a previously amended return.

- Lock the figures in column C using the F8 override key in each box
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Lock the figures from the first amended return
Use this when you need to save the first amended return.
Go to each box in column C and press F8 on page 1 of the 1040X.
Step 2: Create a new 1040X form
Use this when you are ready to amend again.
Next, open a new 1040X form.
Step 3: Block the original figures
Use this to prevent the original figures from being overwritten.
Check the box under income and deductions to block the original figures.
Step 4: If the state return is affected
Use this when changes to the federal return also impact the state return.
If the state return is affected, open the State Amendment form and block the original amounts before making changes to the return. Then make the necessary changes to the return.
