You can amend the last 3 years returns. The IRS will send the refund plus interest.
Once your original return is accepted and the finances are settled, you can file an amended return.
- Save a copy of the original return before doing an amended return.
- See:
- Use separate forms if amending more than one tax year.
- Each year on its own form
- Each year in its own envelope
- Track amended return status online. Taxpayers can track the status of their amended tax return in English and Spanish using Where’s My Amended Return? Amended returns take up to 16 weeks to process and up to three weeks from the date of mailing to show up in the system.
- Mail forms with tracking to ensure your privacy is protected and the documents safely reach their destination.
