Need to Correct a Previously Filed Tax Return?

Mistakes happen. If income, deductions, credits, filing status, business information or other items were reported incorrectly or omitted, AM Tax Inc. can review the original return and determine whether an amended return may be appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file an amended return?

Amended returns are manually reviewed by IRS examiners. Having an Enrolled Agent prepare your documentation ensures complete compliance and minimizes unnecessary questions.

How long does the IRS take to process Form 1040-X?

Do I need to amend my California state return too?

IRS processing for amended tax returns generally takes up to 16 to 20 weeks. You can track status using the official IRS 'Where's My Amended Return?' online tool.
