Solved

Do you mail the original Form 1040 along with the Form 1040X or do you only mail the Form 1040X and any supporting forms and schedules that go with the Form 1040X to IRS?

The great debate!  LOL   I attach any forms or schedules that have changed form the original...so yes, I usually attach the corrected 1040 as well and stamp AMENDED at the top, since it changed.  

But I've heard not everyone does this.

I attach anything that changed....and that almost *always* includes the F 1040.  Otherwise, why would an amendment be needed?

I do not attach the 1040 but do include the original and the corrected copies of everything that has changed.  Many years ago a thoughtful client gave me a red stamp that says ""Information Only Do Not Process" that is stamped at the top of each original page.

I have never attached the 1040.  I have never served any jail time and my clients are still walking the streets.  At least the ones that can walk ---------------- when you have been doing this as long as we have, you do watch your clients age.  Of course, we never age :smile:

Ugh.  It's just now sinking in, all of the idiotic new schedules that might have to be attached to a 1040X now.

yep, just had one that forgot a Ed Jones brokerage account, so not only do we attach the Sch B and Sch D and 8949, but the Sch 1 and Sch 3 also, since there was some foreign tax credit on the dividends.
