On Form 1040-X, enter your income, deductions, and credits from your return as originally filed or as previously adjusted by either you or the IRS, the changes you are making, and the corrected amounts. Then, figure the tax on the corrected amount of taxable income and the amount you owe or your refund.
The IRS does recommend that you wait until you get your original refund before you submit an amendment.
To amend a return, file Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. You can use tax software to electronically file your 1040-X online. Submit all the same forms and schedules as you did when you filed your original Form 1040 even if you don't have adjustments on them.
You can check the status of an amended return around 3 weeks after you submit it. You should generally allow 8 to 12 weeks for your Form 1040-X to be processed. However, in some cases, processing could take up to 16 weeks. You can visit our processing status dashboard for more information on our timeframes.
If the IRS rejected the amended tax return because of a procedural error (usually with IRS letter 916C), it might be as simple as refiling the amended return, providing proof of an item on your return, or filing an additional form.
Allow 8 to 12 weeks for your amended return to be processed; however, in some cases, processing can take up to 16 weeks. It can take up to three weeks after filing it to show up in our system. There's no need to call the IRS during that three-week period unless the tool specifically tells you to do so.
Disadvantages of an Amended Tax Return There is, however, a three-year statute of limitations for issuing tax refund checks. Therefore, the taxpayer must file any amended returns that will result in a tax refund within three years after the date they filed the original tax return.
Use Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to file an amended tax return. Be advised – you can't e-file an amended return. A paper form must be mailed in.
