Lacerte recently added e-File functionality for 1040X Amended Federal returns beginning with tax year 2019.

When these returns are e-Filed, is the full 1040 return sent to the IRS in the e-File process? Does it also include the PDF attachments?

Why would the full 1040 return be sent to IRS? it's not sent the first time around. it's all just 1's and 0's. They can convert it into something that sort of looks like a 1040, if they need to.

I was wondering if the information from the amended 1040 is provided to the IRS with the 1040X. This would be different from just the information on the 1040X being sent to the IRS.

I think you can count on the whole amended 1040 being e-filed with the 1040X form.

Back when it was only accepted via paper-filing, the IRS wouldn't accept just the 1040-X form, they wanted the whole as amended return.

Therefore, I'd presume IRS and Lacerte would have set it up to e-file the whole thing.

You don't need to "attach" the amended 1040 as a separate PDF when you e-file.
