Deductions & credits

As of today, the Form 1040-X is available to use.  See forms availability : Forms

 

You only need to file an amendment if the changes creates a difference in your total refund and tax due.  If the result remains the same, you do not need to submit 1040-X.  

 

Also, be aware that the IRS limits the amount of time you have to file an amended return to claim a refund to:

  • Within three years from the original filing deadline, or
  • Within two years of paying the tax due for that year, if that date is later.
