Thank you, so should I do another 1040 with the old numbers and then amend that one.  Or put the numbers from the first amended return as the original amounts?  After 30 years I haven't had this before 😞

Column A says original amounts or as previously adjusted. The first 1040X = As previously adjusted.

:+1:

"put the numbers from the first amended return as the original amounts"
^^ this

and only send in the pages that changed from the 1st amended return....which could possibly include some forms on the original return that were  NOT impacted by the 1st 1040X.

Thank you all for your input.

@tctxldy - warn your client now, up front, that this WILL turn into a royal PITA mess that will take months (if not a year plus... ) to eventually resolve.  I had one several years ago (CA reclassifying wages to disability pay) that drove me nuts.

Thanks for the heads up.  Client actually works for the State of Ca and they screwed up two years twice.

sounds like CA   :smile:
