FAQ
The United States Constitution Beginning with the words “We the People,” the U.S. Constitution is composed of the Preamble, seven articles, and 27 amendments.
Congress may submit a proposed constitutional amendment to the states, if the proposed amendment language is approved by a two-thirds vote of both houses. Congress must call a convention for proposing amendments upon application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the states (i.e., 34 of 50 states).
An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.
It would be a rare person indeed who would accurately respond that the guarantee to each state of equal suffrage in the Senate is the only constitutional provision that is now expressly unamendable under the Constitution's own terms.
Well the first thing to address with your question is there are not 10 amendments, there are 27. Second problem is that the last amendment was passed in 1992, not 1791. Amendments can't change directly but they can be repealed by later amendments.
The U.S. Constitution is difficult to change and has only been amended 27 times. State constitutions, on the other hand, are much easier to modify, and state constitutional amendments are adopted on a regular basis. The current constitutions of the 50 states have been amended around 7,000 times.
If you don't file an amended return within three years of filing the original return (or within two years after paying the taxes based on the original return), you'll miss your chance to get a refund. The more you owe the IRS or the more the IRS owes you, the more careful you should be to avoid missing that deadline.
For example, if you file your 2020 tax return on March 15, 2021, then you have until April 15, 2024, to get your amended tax return to the IRS. For a 2023 tax return filed in 2024, the deadline was April 15, 2024, and therefore 2023 amended returns have to be filed prior to April 15, 2027.
Can I file my amended return electronically? (updated January 5, 2024) Yes. If you need to amend your Form 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR, or 1040-SS/PR for the current or two prior tax periods, you can amend these forms electronically using available tax software products.
Taxes can be amended after three years, but you won't be eligible to receive your updated refund. Similarly, the IRS has a 3-year statute of limitations on tax audits in most cases. At this point, it can be thought of as bookkeeping with the IRS.
