After you file

A 2023 amended return cannot be e-filed.  You have to file it by mail.  Only certain tax professionals with professional tax software can e-file past year returns.  Your amended 2023 return must be printed, signed and dated in ink, and mailed to the IRS.

 

Use a mailing service like certified mail so you will know the IRS received it, because you will have a long wait.

 

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
