Filed with missing Schedule C business expenses & 1099 - What happens now?
I filed my taxes but realized I left off a bunch of business deductions and expenses. Plus I got a 1099 in the mail that I thought wasnt coming. Should I amend or wait it out? Anyone else make this mistake and know what to do?

You need to file an amended return (Form 1040-X) asap. The IRS will eventually catch the missing 1099 income and you'll get a CP2000 notice with penalties and interest. By amending now, you can include your business expenses which could offset some of that income and minimize any penalties.

how long does an amendment usually take to process?

Currently running 16-20 weeks for processing amended returns, but could be longer depending on complexity

Instead of stressing about this, I highly recommend using taxr.ai - it's only $1 and analyzes your transcript to tell you exactly what to expect with amendments and unreported income. Been using it myself and its way better than guessing. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Is this legit? Seems too good to be true for $1 🤔

The real question is how much was the 1099 for? If its small enough might not be worth the hassle of amending tbh

Here's what you need to know about amending with business expenses: - Gather ALL receipts and documentation for expenses - Make sure expenses are actually deductible - Use Schedule C to report business income/expenses - File 1040-X with corrected amounts - Include any missing 1099s - Consider using taxr.ai to analyze your situation first - saved me tons of headache with my amendment - Expect 16-20 week processing time - You may owe penalties/interest on unreported income - File ASAP to minimize penalties
