The IRS doesn't want you to amend until you've already gotten your tax refund or your payment has been processed. If you will owe money after amending, include payment with your e-filed or mailed amendment form.
There are times when you should amend your return and times when you shouldn't. Here are some common situations that call for an amendment:
- You realized you missed out on claiming a tax deduction or credit.
- You accidentally claimed the wrong tax filing status.
- You need to add or remove a dependent.
- You forgot to claim taxable income on your tax return.
- You realize you claimed an expense, deduction, or credit that you weren't eligible to claim.
