After you file

You will update your filing status, and typically the amounts on: 

  • Line 9 - Standard Deduction
    • This will change from the odd amount likely listed, to the actual standard deduction for your filing status (most likely $12,200, for a single filer
  • Line 11b - Taxable Income may or may not change

You will then need to complete, on Form 1040X Columns A, B, and C listing the old amount, the net change, and the correct amount for each line that has a different value on the new form.
