Form 3531 for year 2021

Isthegreatest84 — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 05:03:28 GMT

I got the form 3531 for the year 2020. I realized I did the same thing for this year too. Can I go ahead and send a signed return for this year along with the W2s or should I wait to get a 3531 in the mail for 2021. I'm not sure how this will effect my 1040 X I filed last month for 2021. I figured if I could fix my error before getting a notice would help. Thanks for any insight.

Wait ... if you try to file a "fix" before the IRS is ready for one you can gum up the works even worse.

Thank you! I guess sometimes being proactive isn't for the best. I'll file my 2020 and wait for my 2021. At least when I get the next form, I won't freak out about it.
