2021 state taxes were incorrectly filed

How do I amend my state tax return?

You can amend your state tax return in two simple steps:

  1. First, fill out an amended federal income tax return, Form 1040-X.
  2. Second, get the proper form from your state and use the information from Form 1040-X to help you fill it out.

Like the IRS, states typically use a special form for an amended return. Many states also use the X suffix for the form number. In MD it is Form 502X.

 

Don't forget to attach a copy of your amended federal return (Form 1040-X) to your amended state return, if the state requires it, as is usually the case.

If you need to amend your federal return, the changes that you make to your federal return will automatically be transferred to your state return.  

 

However, if you only need to make specific changes to your state return, select your product below and follow the instructions.
