Correct a Tax Return With Confidence
A tax return may need to be amended when a document arrives after filing, income was omitted, a deduction or credit was reported incorrectly, or other material information needs to be changed.
We begin by reviewing the originally filed return alongside the new or corrected information. That allows us to determine what changed and whether an amendment is appropriate.
When a correction is needed, we prepare the amended return and supporting schedules so the IRS can clearly see the adjustment and its effect on your tax liability or refund.
Amended Return Preparation & Review
We help identify what needs to change, calculate the tax effect, and prepare the appropriate correction for a previously filed individual return.
Form 1040-X Preparation
Prepare the federal amended individual income tax return and applicable supporting schedules.
Missing Income
Correct returns when wages, investment income, business income, or another taxable item was omitted from the original filing.
Corrected Tax Forms
Review corrected W-2s, 1099s, brokerage forms, and other revised documents to determine whether the return should be amended.
Deduction Corrections
Correct deductions that were omitted, overstated, or otherwise reported incorrectly on the original return.
Credit Corrections
Review tax credits affected by new information and make appropriate changes when an amendment is required.
Prior Return Review
Review a return prepared elsewhere to identify the effect of an error before preparing an amendment.
Who We Serve
For Taxpayers Who Need to Correct a Filed Return
We work with individuals who receive corrected tax documents, discover missing income, identify an overlooked deduction or credit, or otherwise learn that a filed return contains material information that needs to change.
This can include investors, property owners, professionals, business owners, and other taxpayers with simple or complex corrections.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should a tax return be amended?
An amendment may be appropriate when material income, deductions, credits, filing status, or other information on a filed return needs correction.
What form is used to amend an individual federal return?
Federal individual income tax returns are generally amended using Form 1040-X.
Should I amend after receiving a corrected tax document?
It depends on whether the corrected information changes the return. We can compare the original and corrected documents.
