I need to file an amended 2024 return but I'm getting an error when I try to file. It's saying that it had to be filed by November of 2025. How do I file the return?

It will let me go through the process of filling out the 1040-X, but it won't let me submit it.

File it by mail. Print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.

Use a mailing service like certified mail to track so you will know it was received since you will have a long wait.

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
