This is probably a stupid question but, why does a 1040-X need to be completed with a superseded return? It's treated as a new original not an amended return.
I think it is a ProSeries thing, not an IRS thing.
Up until this year, there was no way to designate an e-filed 1040 as "superseded", and the IRS won't allow duplicate submissions, so the 1040X was a way to tell the IRS it was a superseding return.
But now that 1040s have a way to indicate they are superseding return, a 1040X shouldn't be necessary.
Is there a box on the 1040 now to show its superseded? I haven't noticed.
There is a box on the federal info worksheet near the bottom of section three to check for a superseded return
Yes, there is. The issue I am referring to is that you have to also generate a 1040-X.
Take a look at the ProSeries article about e-filing a superseded return.

I meant on the 1040 itself, nothing on it designates that its superseded return.
That is correct. No checkbox for that.
