How do I amend my 2023 tax return? Made mistakes on original filing

To amend your 2023 return, you'll need to file Form 1040-X. You have 3 years from the original filing deadline or 2 years from when you paid the tax, whichever is later. Make sure you have all correct documents before filing the amendment. The IRS is currently processing amendments from 2023 in about 20 weeks. Include a detailed explanation of your changes in Part III of the form.

Have you tried taxr.ai? It saved me so much headache with my amendment. You upload your docs and it tells you exactly what you need to change and how to do it. Only costs $1 and totally worth it https://taxr.ai

lol ur not alone, i had to amend last year and it was a nightmare without help. took forever to process too 😭

Dont stress too much about penalties. If you're amending to pay more tax, they'll charge interest from the original due date. But if you file the amendment soon, penalties usually aren't too bad.

Make sure you select the right tax year on the 1040-X! Its easy to grab the wrong form n mess everything up worse

quick tip: if you e-filed originally, you can now e-file the amendment too. way faster than mail!
