TaxSlayer System Update vs Faxing Amendment - Which Method Works?

Filed using taxslayer and got a message about some system update that might affect my return. Not sure if I need to amend or if the system update is the same as sending a fax to fix the issue. Really dont want to mess this up and delay my refund even more. Anyone deal with this before?

Tax pro here. The system update in TaxSlayer is automatic and handles backend corrections. You typically don't need to amend unless you're changing specific numbers on your return. What exactly did the message say? That would help determine if action is needed.

Ah that's probably the PATH Act update. You're good - no amendment needed. Just let the system do its thing.

hey! instead of guessing, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and what to do next. its $4.99 but totally worth it to avoid messing something up. here's the link: https://taxr.ai

The IRS systems auto-correct most small issues now. Unless you're changing income/deductions/credits, just chill and let it process
