How to Amend a Tax Return

If you made a mistake on your accepted tax return, rest assured, you can still make changes. However, you must file an amended tax return, also known as a Form 1040X. This form will indicate all the changes you make to your originally accepted tax return.

If your return was electronically filed and accepted using our services, you can amend your tax return right from your account page. Click the “Amend a Return” tab within your account and follow the prompts.

If you paper filed your return using our site or filed your original return elsewhere, contact our customer service representatives at 877-289-7580 to assist you in the process. You will typically need to provide a copy or transcript of that return when amending it, if you filed your original tax return with a different tax preparation service or on your own. Then, you will simply enter your tax information that has your updated changes within our website, as if you are filing a normal tax return.

As a reminder, there are service fees for amending a tax return, and the processing time can vary depending on the complexity of the changes. Take a look at the pricing here. Check out our blog on “20 Facts About Filing an Amended Prior Year Tax Return.”
