Answer 1

Did you try www.irs.gov?

Answer 2

First, you need to have a copy of your return as you had originally filed it. Copy the numbers from that return into the column labelled "as originally filed" on Form 1040X. Then you prepare a new 1040 with all of the numbers from your original return, except you include the things you needed to amend. This return is used to fill out the numbers on the 1040X in the column "as amended" or "as adjusted". The differences between the two columns are entered into column 3. Fill out the rest of the form to determine what additional tax you owe, or what additional refund you are due. On page 2 of the 1040X, you need to provide the reason why you are filing an amended return. Mail the 1040X, 1040 as originally filed (with "as originally filed" labeled on the top of each page) and finally, the 1040 as amended (with "as amended" labeled on the top of each page). Send it in, along with a check for the tax due, if any, to the IRS.

Answer 3

Go to www.irs.gov and print out the form 1040X in the Forms and Publications list. This is what you have to use to file an amended return.

1.3 IRS Procedures: Amended Returns & Form 1040X

What should I do if I made a mistake on my federal return that I have already filed?

It depends on the type of mistake that was made. Many mathematical errors are caught in the processing of the tax return itself. If you did not attach a required schedule the service will contact you and ask for the missing information.

If you did not report all your income or did not claim a credit, you are entitled to file an amended or corrected return using Form 1040X (PDF), Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Include copies of any schedules that have been changed or any Form W-2 (PDF) you did not include. The Form 1040X (PDF) should be submitted after you receive your refund or by the due date of the return, whichever, is earlier. Generally, to claim a refund, the Form 1040X (PDF) must be received within three years after the date you filed your original return or within two years after the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.

I received a refund that is more than I should have received because I've discovered I made a mistake on my return. I have not yet cashed this check. What should I do now?

Many mistakes are corrected in processing and a letter of explanation is mailed at the time the refund is issued. If the mistake was not corrected in processing, you need to file an amended or corrected return using Form 1040X (PDF), Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, as soon as possible. Include copies of any schedules that have been changed or any Form W-2 (PDF) you did not include. If you return the refund check with a letter of explanation, a refund in the correct amount will be issued when the amended return processes.

How do I fill out the amended return Form 1040X?

Form 1040X (PDF), Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, is designed with three columns. Column A is used to show the figures from the original return. However, if you previously amended that return or it was changed by the IRS, enter the adjusted amounts. Column C is used to show the correct figures. The difference between the figures in Columns A and C is shown in Column B. On the back of the form you need to explain the specific changes being made on the return and the reason for each change. If the changes involve another schedule or form, attach it to Form 1040X (PDF). Be sure to enter the year of the return you are amending at the top of the form as required.
