Hop do I amend my return?

I just filed my return and got a rejection notice. How do I amend it?

Stop.  Do not click on anything that says "amend."  You do not amend a rejected return.  Amending is only used for a fully processed return that was successfully filed but that had mistakes or missing information.

 

You may be able to "fix" your return----that is not the same as amending it.

 

 

 

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.  

Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead.

 

 What is the rejection code or rejection message? 

 

 If it was rejected for AGI—-your 2022 AGI might not be in the IRS system if you filed late.   Try using zero instead.

 

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
