Question

You made an error when you filed your tax return last year. You can correct this error by filing Form________

Answer 1

1040X

Step-by-step explanation:

Form 1040X should be filled to make any amendments in the returns filed incorrectly. It is similar to Form 1040 with additional columns. It has additional columns, first column (A) where incorrect value is put, net change is put in the second column (B) and in the final column (C), correct amount is put. After recalculation, if a taxpayer owes additional tax, then 1040X should be filed by the due date. In case of refunds, 1040X can be filed within 3 years after the original returns were filed or 2 years from original tax paid.
