E-Filing Amended 2024 Return

tbone11 — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 14:27:04 GMT

Just tried to e-file my 2024 amended federal and state return. I received a notification that the 2024 e-filing process closed November 15, 2025. How can I file via e-file? Do I need to pay for an upgraded service?

You can amend returns up to two years later. Not too happy that I will either have to paper file or spend time using another service.

Send your amended 2024 return by mail. Print it, sign and date it in ink and mail it. Use a tracking service such as certified mail to know it was received, since 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.

If I paper file but make online payment, how will they know to apply it if they have not received the return? I am trying to avoid any P&I or audit from IRS.

You can wait six weeks to make a payment or you can pay now making certain that the payment is applied to the correct year and then you'll just have a credit on your account until they process your return.
