How to make corrections to a tax return

If you did a mistake on your tax return or want to make corrections to a tax return from the prior year, you can correct this with an amended return. An amended return permits you to resolve the problem and claim a more advantageous tax return or make a payment if you realized you filed incorrectly.

Considerations

The IRS will mail you a notice that compels you to submit additional information. For example, if you submitted the wrong Social Security number on your income tax return, the IRS may mail you a letter inquiring about the correct SSN.

Warning

If the changes made by the IRS result in you owing tax, you owe the tax plus any fines and interest, from the date the tax was due. If you cannot manage to pay the tax in full, contact the IRS or make arrangements using the IRS’s online payment confirmation application.

The bottom line never is worried if you receive an IRS refund adjusted letter in the mail. Please contact our experienced tax consultants who will explain the reason of your notice or letter and give you instructions on how to handle the issue.
