From Carol McAtee’s CPA firm in St. Petersburg, FL- What if you’ve already filed your return, but realized that you were eligible for a deduction or credit that you didn’t take, or worse–discovered an error and need to “fix it” on your return?
Fortunately, there’s an easy answer: file an amended return. Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering filing an amended federal income tax return.
1. When you need to amend an income tax return, use Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. You can use Form 1040X to correct previously filed Forms 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ.
If you have questions about filing an amended return or other tax related questions, please do not hesitate to contact us 727-327-1999.
