Can I wait until next year to file my school tax information or will I be penalized for not doing it this year? I already submitted my e file.

I just received the tax information in the mail after I e-file. I can wait until next year but if there is a penalty,  What would I have to do to fix it?

You will need to Amend this year's tax form if in order to add that form. It would be beneficial to you to go ahead and amend but you would not be penalized.

First you will need to wait and see if your return is Accepted or Rejected by the IRS. If the return is Rejected you can go back in and fix the mistake without amending. If the return is Accepted you will need to WAIT until you receive your refund and then Amend.
