No.  Be sure to keep a pdf copy of ALL tax returns you file.

Thanks, but my question is actually, which of the original or the copied return should I use for a corrected return (amendment, or any other purpose), in order to avoid a new fee?

After opening the original and making a copy return, should I proceed with the original without a fee, or shoud I close the original and open the copied return for a further processing without a fee?

Original

Thank you.

So my understanding is that keeping a copied return (as the originally filed return) and using the original return to enter new numbers (as amendment, or as a prediction of a scenario) wouldn't incur a new fee.  Is it correct?

I do not know for sure. I believe any return of the same type (1040, 1041, 1120,...) that are filed with the same taxpayer ID are included in the same credit used.
