Amending an amended return

[swtstg]

I recently finished amending a 2004 return for a client who
had originally filed their own return and did not include some
broker transactions, and then I prepared their 2005 return for
them. They have now brought me the 2005 return for their
elderly father and after reviewing all his information, he can
be claimed as a dependent on their return (his only income was
social security and even that does not cover all his medical
bills.)

My question is; are there any concerns about making changes to
the 2004 return that I have already amended?

No problem. Just do a second 1040X. The first 1040X is
your starting point.
