Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved


You will have to wait for the IRS to start accepting or rejecting 2020 tax returns on February 12, 2021
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

You may have to wait to amend your return if it had unemployment income reported. 

 

Please see the link below for more details and to sign up to be notified once it is available.

@harrynew

Can you please provide more detail? 

What mistake did you make? 

Did you report unemployment on your return?  

Have you already filed your original return?

Have you received a refund, or has you tax payment been processed?
