Why did the date to amend a current year tax return change from Feb 15 to Feb 22?

Tax form availability is subject to change.   The 1040X has often not  been available until late February, so this is not unusual.  I was pretty surprised when they first said February 13.  So, you have to wait.

It is too soon to amend a 2024 tax return.   You have to wait until it has been fully processed by the IRS.  Sometimes the IRS catches and corrects mistakes you made.   And the Form 1040X you will need is not available yet. Amending too soon can cause confusion and long delays.
