Amended Tax Returns, Explained
An amended return (Form 1040-X for individuals) corrects a return you already filed: income that was left off, a missed credit or deduction, a wrong filing status or a changed form such as a corrected 1099. We review the original return, prepare the amendment and explain the result.
How We Handle Amended Tax Returns
Amending fixes errors before the IRS finds them and can put money back in your pocket. Refund claims generally must be filed within three years of the original filing date or two years from when the tax was paid, whichever is later.

Your Questions, Answered
Quick answers about amended tax returns.
How far back can I amend a return?
To claim a refund, generally within three years of filing the original return or two years from paying the tax, whichever is later.
Will amending trigger an audit?
Amending does not automatically trigger an audit. Correcting an error yourself is usually better than waiting for the IRS to find it.
How long do amended returns take?
The IRS often takes several months to process amended returns. We can help you track the status.
Should I amend for a small mistake?
Not always. Math errors are often fixed by the IRS automatically. We'll tell you whether an amendment is worth it.
Can I amend a return someone else prepared?
Yes. We'll review it and correct what's needed, whoever prepared the original.
Do I need to amend my state return too?
If you file in a state with income tax, often yes. Florida has no personal income tax, so most Florida residents only amend federally.
