From Carol McAtee’s CPA firm in St. Petersburg, FL- Our final tip for FIling Amended Returns:
8. If you owe additional 2011 tax, file Form 1040X and pay the tax before the due date to limit interest and penalty charges that could accrue on your account. Interest is charged on any tax not paid by the due date of the original return, without regard to extensions.
