After you file

If you have already filed your tax return and you left off some income ,  you can file an amended return to fix it. But first you have to wait. 

 If the IRS rejects your tax return, all you have to do is make the changes on your return and refile.

If the IRS accepts your tax return, wait until you receive your refund, or your payment is processed. Then, go to the link at the bottom of the page for instructions.

Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they are processed as two separate returns.  

Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail.  It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them.   If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it.  If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.
