Amended return
Fixing a return
you already filed.
If you find a mistake or missing income after filing, the IRS uses Form 1040-X to correct a federal return. Booking is not open for this service; a consultation is the place to ask about your case.
Amend when your filing status, income, deductions, credits, dependents or tax changed. You generally don’t need to amend when the IRS corrected an error on your return or accepted it without a form it later asked for.
