At present, because of the recently enacted legislation that affects the tax return, the actual desired process may not be in print yet.
My advice would be to amend the return before the filing deadline to change the answer to this question and defer the tax payment. Currently, the amended return is scheduled or release on February 18th.
DO NOT amend the return before your original return e-filed is fully accepted and processed. And now we can actually file amendments through e-file for a smoother and faster.
- Amending a tax return using e-file starts here.
If you would like you can contact the IRS at 800-829-1040 (early or late is best):
- (January - April) 800-829-1040
- Telephone service wait times can average 15 minutes. Some telephone service lines may have longer wait times.
- Telephone service wait times are higher on Monday and Tuesday, during Presidents Day weekend and around the April tax filing deadline.
- Customer service representatives are available Monday through Friday, 7 am. to 7 pm. local time, unless otherwise noted.
