If you discover an error after your return has been mailed, you may need to amend your return. The service center may correct errors in math on a return and may accept returns with certain forms or schedules left out. In these instances, do not amend your return!

However, do file an amended return if any of the following were reported incorrectly:

your filing status
your total income
your deductions or credits

Use Form 1040X (PDF), Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to correct a previously filed Form 1040 (PDF), Form 1040A (PDF), or Form 1040EZ (PDF). If you are filing to claim an additional refund, wait until you have received your original refund (you may cash that check). To avoid penalty and interest, if you owe additional tax for a current year amended return, file Form 1040X and pay the tax by April 17th

File an amended return on Form 1040X. If you owe more tax on the corrected return, do that by April 17, 2007 to avoid any penalties and interest. If you owe less tax, you have until April 15, 2010 to file the amended return as there won't be any interest or penalties.

You can file an amended return.

Use Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to correct a previously filed Form 1040, Form 1040A, or Form 1040EZ .

File an emended tax return with the correct information. If you are due an extra refund, you will have a check mailed. If you owe, send a check with the return.

You cannot e-file an amended return.

You may ammend your taxes yourself or you may hire someone to do that. I do ammended taxes all the time for people who have gotten in a hurry to file and get money back, but had forgot about a source of income or credit, etc. and had to come back into us to ammend. The cost of ammendment depends on the severity of the case. In fact you can go back 3 years and ammend prior taxes if you think there was a mistake.
