After filing your original return, you may determine that you made an error or omitted something from your return. Although the IRS often finds and corrects errors during processing, there are certain situations in which you may need to file an amended return to correct an error or make other changes to your return.
Any interest and penalties still apply. If you amend and end up owing more than you did originally, you could be subject to interest and penalties. The worst part about such interest and penalties is that they apply to the difference owed on the amended tax return starting from the date of your original return filing.
