You may not be able to at this point. See the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) information below.
Unfortunately there is a statue of limitations and the time has run out for 2012. The date for 2012, was April 15, 2016.
- One exception is you can amend the later of the statute date or two years after the tax is paid whichever is later. For this reason you could try, but it's unlikely the IRS will accept.
You can amend the following tax returns right now:
- 2019: Final Date April 18, 2023
- 2020: Final Date April 15, 2024
- 2021: Final Date April 15, 2025
Any return earlier than those listed can be amended but there will be no refund issued if applicable.
The best resource for you may be the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS). They are in place to assist in situations where you are unable to obtain resolution on your own.
- You can click here to begin: TAS Qualifier Tool. or
- Submit a request for assistance - Form 911 Request for TAS Assistance (instructions are included)
- Locate the local TAS Office for your area
This will get the process started for you. It's not going to be a fast process because they are handling a large volume at this time.
If you do not hear from TAS within one week of submitting Form 911, contact the Taxpayer Advocate office where you originally submitted your request. Incomplete information or requests submitted to a Taxpayer Advocate office outside of your geographical location may result in delays.
