Sorry, unless you downloaded it before you amended, the amended return overwrote the original return and it is gone.  Only the last return done is saved.  

You can request a transcript from the IRS

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506

Thank you for the quick reply and response!

I will certainly remember to download every time I submit.

Thank you!

If you did not save the original return as a pdf--per the instructions--then when you amended the return, the original was replaced by the amended return.  The original is gone.

 

You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $43, an actual copy of your tax return.
