During the course of tax season, many people make mistakes when preparing their returns.\u00a0 Some of the most common involve the filing status, number of dependents, total income and deductions.\u00a0 Other mistakes such as computational errors are usually corrected by the IRS.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Corrections to your return should be made using Form 1040X, Amended US Individual Income Tax Return.\u00a0 If you have more than one return to amend, you will need to use a separate Form 1040X for each.\u00a0 Additionally, if you have other schedules to include, be sure to attach them to the Form 1040X.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The deadline for filing Form 1040X is three years from the date you filed your original return or within two years from the date you paid any taxes.\u00a0 Therefore, you have plenty of time to get your paperwork in order.\u00a0 But don\u2019t delay or you will forget and will miss this important deadline.<\/p>\n
