4, Tax Return Modification
In case taxpayers detect errors or forgot to enter some information when filing your tax return. IRS suggests that taxpayers should use Interactive Tax Assistant to help determine if these errors and changes should be adjusted to tax return you already filed. Taxpayers can go to “Should I file an amended return” to make decisions on tax filing adjustment.
Errors about filing status, income, deductions and credits are common in tax filing. Taxpayers usually do not need to file an amended return to fix a math error or if they forgot to attach a form or schedule. Normally, the agency will correct the math error and notify the taxpayer by mail. Similarly, the agency will send a letter requesting any missing forms or schedules.
Taxpayers are required to file Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return (PDF) on paper. Those expecting a refund from their original return, should not file an amended return before the original return has been processed.
