QUESTION:
How do I file an amended tax return?
ANSWER:
If you already filed your 2024 tax return but later realize you missed some information, you can amend it by submitting Form 1040-X.
Before filing your amended return, make sure the IRS has already processed your original return. This helps prevent mix-ups between your original and amended returns. The “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov is the most reliable and convenient way to track your refund.
Be sure to attach any documents or tax forms that support your changes, and check if you need to amend your state return. Contact your tax advisor for assistance.
