Year 2021: accidentally filed unsecured loan for 2020

[zn6-2013]

Hi experts, 

I had bought my first property last year (2020), and I just realized that I made a mistake of saying the loan was not secure but when in fact it was. So I missed out on a good amount of refund. 

Is there a way to reclaim that amount, or that money is long gone? 

Thanks in advance.

No, the money is not long gone. You could file a 2020 amended return since the error will change your refund or amount due.

• Please see the following instructions to amend your 2020 income tax return: How to amend (change or correct) a return you've already filed.
• You may also file a state return if the error changes your refund or amount due. See How do I amend a prior-year state return?
