After you file

Amending is necessary when you need to report a tax form you forgot about or received after filing.   Do I need to amend?   For your questions:

 

  1. There is No fee to amend
  2. Yes, when TurboTax prepares the 1040X, your taxes are recalculated to account for the changes
  3. It is likely you will have to mail your amended returns, but you won't have to include a check - you will be able to pay online or do a direct debit
  4. If you are able to e-file, use your current IP PIN - see this TAS Notice
  5. You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment.
