I received the wrong amount on my tax return. What do i do?

Question

I did my return on H&R blocks software. All was fine until i went to do my state return and it inputs everything i used on my federal for the state. It showed my state being an ungodly amount ($7800). I quickly retraced my steps and found the problem. The problem was when i put in my different city locations ( construction worker) it added the state tax each time but it was for all the same state. Apparently the tax software didn't catch it and i caught it too late. So now i have 1030 dollars too much in my account. What do i do?? thanks

Answer 1

You must file an Amended Return, Form 1040X

This needs to be mailed in, it takes 8 to 12 weeks to process

Send the balance that you owe back with the 1040X before April 17th to avoid penalties and interest

Answer 2

Previous answers seem to refer to errors on you FEDERAL return. You will need to file an amended return and repay the excess refund. The form is probably available from your state's website. Look for the same form number as the original return with an 'X' on the end. Most amended returns must be filed on paper.

Answer 3

You need to do an amended tax return. If you don't you could be auditied and pay penalties. You can use a tax websight to do this, like turbo tax. I did this for my brother last year. It's real easy to fix.

Answer 4

keep records for seven years keep it you probably won't get audit and if you do you will just have to pay it back he he and make sure you do it right or hire it out to h&r block they are pros and they also could have your back in a audit

Answer 5

Just call the IRS and let them know..
