Filing amended year tax

[khaines21057]

I have amended my 2014 federal taxes due to receipt of CP2000. What docs do I need to send? Do I send all the work sheets along with the amended return?

When you have prepared your amended return and are ready to mail Form 1040-X you should include the following forms:

• The new (amended) Form 1040
• Any forms or schedules that were added or changed as a result of preparing the amendment

Do not include the worksheets that were generated with your amended return - these should be kept for your records.

Please note that 1040-X cannot be e-filed - you will need to mail a paper return.  It takes the IRS at least 2 - 3 months (and sometime up to 6 months) to process amended returns.  Also, depending on whether the changes affect your numbers, you may also be required to file an amended return with your state.  

The mailing address for you state and situation can be found at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040x.pdf.  Look under Where to File on page 14.
