The form is a 1040X. You can find this usually at your local library or you can print one offline at IRS.gov. I am not sure what legal expenses you have, but usually they are not deductable, unless they were accured in the process of adopting a child. You should check with an accountant or Tax Proffessional.

Normally you can't claim legal expenses. About the only ones you could claim would be expenses for tax advice.
If you'll explain here a little more fully just what those legal expenses were for, someone can probably tell you whether they'd be deductible or not.

it extremely is to small to agonize approximately, and in case you get an audit they are going to amend your return and not something transformations. I even have a chum who shall we the IRS audit him fairly than pay somebody to do his taxes. For him it incredibly is relaxing.

If you filed a 1040, the ammended return is a 1040X. Just follow the directions. You may have waited too long.

Legal expenses for what? These may be fully deductible as business expenses, partly deductible as personal expenses or not deductible at all depending on the circumstances.

If you haven't already, go to www.irs.gov, and search for "amended return."
Be careful, you may flag yourself for an audit.
If you heard about this approach from some radio or TV show, or some friend told you to do this, just forget it.
Chalk it up as a donation for the good of your country.

IRS.GOV has all the forms. I think you can only go back 2 years though.
