Reviewing 2016 taxes

November27 — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 22:13:19 GMT

Hi, I submitted my 2016 tax information to my school, but they’re saying there’s an issue with the amounts. They’re saying my 2016 Wages entered was 32,750, by W2 showed 33,529. Is there someone that could review this information for me? I’ve filed an amend but didn’t see a difference.

No one in the user forum can review your 2016 return, or any return that you prepared. No one else ever has access to your returns or your account. Only you. You need to review the entries you made by looking at the tax form and at the worksheets that show the income you entered. You might have made an error in data entry somewhere.

And please explain "I've filed an amend..." What did you do? An amended return must be prepared on a Form 1040X and it has to be printed, signed and mailed. What did you change when you amended? Did you actually mail it?

Yes, I had to review everything then print and sign the document. I mailed it off to the address that was on the form, but I haven’t received any response back.

@November27 If you mailed an amended return, be aware that it takes about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. If you are getting a refund, they mail you a check. You will not receive any sort of "response" before that happens.

Wait about 3 weeks and you can check the status of your amended return:
