Problem with amended form 1040 not showing as 1040X

***I read the instruction and the answer I am seeking is not included in that information***I am filing an amended return for 2021 and have made all of the changes but when I open my forms it does not show a 1040x. It says I can efile an amended return but how does the IRS know it is an amendment if it is not a form 1040x? I'm thinking I may have to mail this  to get it right.

 

Does Turbotax send all of the worksheets when they file your return or only the forms?

    Yes, I read those articles before I started. The answer to this issue I am seeing  is not in those articles. I am opening the forms to see how they read and I do not see a 1040x. It says I can emend and efile but I don't want to do that if the wrong form is selected for filing. Why don't I see a 1040x in this filing or in my case a 1040SR-X or whatever that is called?
