Morphology
The noun phrase is transparently compositional: 'amended' means modified/corrected and 'return' is a tax document, so 'amended return' straightforwardly denotes a tax return that has been corrected or updated. This is a literal, cross-linguistically common construction that a B1 learner who knows both constituent words can readily understand.
Etymology
The noun amended return comes from the simple idea of sending a tax return and later making it amended, meaning to 'fix' or 'change' the information. So an amended return is the tax form you send to correct a mistake in a return you already filed.
