No, if you don't have any changes in the amended return, you don't have to file it.  In fact, the IRS does not want to process amended tax returns for no reason.  They have no way of knowing you have even prepared it.

What if you did file it eventhough there was no change?

Why did you file it even though there were no changes? What were you trying to do?

 

I imagine that the IRS will process the 1040X, even if there were no changes.
