Filing taxes

I filed my taxes yesterday and then I just got some MISC 1099 forms in the mail so how can I include those in my taxes if I already filed them yesterday?

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.

If you left out a W-2, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is pending. The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.

If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and mail it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally. You will need to use a form called a 1040X. You cannot e-file an amended return. They have to be mailed, and it takes about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.

Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself. Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

Ok, another question when I went in my account I did not see my paper work from yesterday so now I am not even sure if it filed? And another thing instead of doing a tax amend could I just record my 1099-MICS on my next tax return next year?

Well I tried to change it. Also when I looked on my account I did not see my 1040 form summary so i am not even sure if the e-file went through. Also could I just record my MISC1099 forms on next years tax return? So I don't have to ammend!

No you cannot just add your 2019 1099Misc to your 2020 return next year. Only 2020 income can go on your 2020 return next year. Your 2019 return must include all of your 2019 income on the same tax return.

Right now you do not seem to know if you e-filed. Check your e-file status to see:

If the return was accepted, then you are stuck with what you were told in the beginning of this thread. If it was rejected, then you can fix it and re-file.
