How to Fix Taxes After Filing Wrong

Oops, you filed your taxes wrong. It could happen to any of us. Taxes can get complicated, so it’s not uncommon for a mistake on your taxes to occur. If you found the error after you filed, you are probably stressing out, but don’t worry, you can amend your taxes.

If you made a bigger mistake like filling out the wrong tax form or missed a deduction, we recommend you should amend your taxes. Now, if you have a spelling mistake or a tiny miscalculation, likely the IRS will fix this mistake for you. If not, they may request an item from you.

You can amend your taxes with a 1040X form, and you have three years after the date you filed to fill out this form.

You should do everything you can to make sure you filed your taxes correctly; however, sometimes not all errors are caught, and you could end up with a problem with the IRS, whether it’s a high tax bill or facing an audit.
