After you file

Did you receive a letter from the IRS explaining why you only received $900 if you filed an amended income tax return (Form 1040X) showing a refund of $1,000?

 

Filing a second amended income tax return with the same information will not get you the extra $100 because the IRS looked at your numbers and calculated your refund should only be $900.

 

If you did not receive a letter from the IRS about your amendment, call 1-800-829-1040. Be aware. The phone lines are backed up. The IRS opens at 7 a.m. local time in every time zone. The earlier you call, the better your chance of speaking with someone.

 

If you find out you need to change something to get back more money, you can file a second amended return if the information is different.
