Question

I filed my 2025 desktop version of my tax return. It was accepted and I received a refund. I made a mistake and forgot to include SSA-1099. How do I amend my return?

Remember that you have up to three years to Amend a Return.  It is processed separately and does not catch up to and correct your original return, and can take up to 12 weeks to process, so don't panic. 

 

Make sure you save a copy of your original return before starting your Amendment.  If you are unable to Efile your Amendment, you can mail Form 1040X and the SSA-1099 form (that's all you need to mail).  Efiling doesn't necessarily speed up the amendment process.
