You can amend a tax return up to 3 years later if you missed something.

Tax Filing Amendment Fact 101: You Can Fix Old Tax Mistakes

Here’s a fact every taxpayer should know: The IRS does allow you to fix mistakes on a tax return you already filed — even for past years. It’s called filing an amended return, and it could save you money, protect you from penalties, or help you claim a refund you missed.

Every year, taxpayers realize they left off income, missed deductions, or didn’t claim a credit they were eligible for. The good news? You don’t have to live with that mistake forever.

How Does a Tax Amendment Work?

To fix an error on a previously filed tax return, you must file Form 1040-X, the IRS’s official amended return form. You can typically amend up to three years back from the date you filed — or within two years of paying the tax, whichever is later.

Common reasons to amend your tax return:
✔️ You forgot to include income (like a W-2 or 1099)
✔️ You didn’t claim a credit or deduction you qualify for
✔️ You need to change your filing status
✔️ You received corrected tax forms after you filed

Why Bother Amending?

Filing an amendment can:
✅ Put extra refund money in your pocket
✅ Reduce what you owe if you overpaid
✅ Prevent penalties or interest if you underreported income
✅ Give you peace of mind that your taxes are right
