Need help with IRS amendment and extension for documents - any advice?

Ugh, dealing with the IRS is always a pain. I had to amend my taxes last year and it was a nightmare. Make sure you have all your original documents ready and double-check everything before you submit. Good luck!

I've been through this before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Fill out Form 1040-X for amendments 2. Include any schedules or forms that are changing 3. Provide a clear explanation of why you're amending 4. For extensions, use Form 4868 if you need more time to file 5. Keep copies of EVERYTHING Most importantly, don't panic! Take it step by step and you'll get through it. If you're really stuck, consider hiring a tax professional. It might cost a bit, but it can save you headaches in the long run.

I found a method to get someone on the phone at the IRS. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the URL: https://www.claimyr.com

whatever you do, DONT mail anything important without tracking. learnt that the hard way when they "lost" my documents 🙄

Have you tried using the IRS's online tools? They've improved a lot recently. Might save you some time and hassle.

Just remember, if you owe money, filing an extension doesn't give you more time to pay. Interest will still accrue. Ask me how I know... 💸
