Amendment to 2023 Taxes

If an amendment needs to be made, will the IRS do it or will they notify me?

Not necessarily. What is wrong on your return?

 

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted, you should follow these guidelines. 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. 
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. 
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.  
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due 
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending. 
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment 

Select your product below and follow the instructions.

Not sure - I received the 5071C Letter, I verified my identity.  It's been a month already so I'm not sure if something needs to be amended.

You just need to wait then.
