FAQs

Get answers to your most pressing tax-related questions right here.

When should I file an amended tax return?

You should file an amended return if you discover errors or omissions that affect your tax liability or refund. Common reasons include receiving late tax documents (W-2s, 1099s), realizing you missed deductions, claiming forgotten dependents, or correcting filing status. When assessing if and how to amend a tax return, keep in mind that small math issues are not a reason to amend a return. If you’re not sure, contact your local ATAX, and we’ll let you know if an amendment is worth filing.

How long do I have to file an amended return?

Generally, you have 3 years from the date you originally filed, or 2 years from when you paid the tax, whichever is later. If you have an amended return from more than 3 years ago, contact your local ATAX to inquire about your options.

Will filing an amended return mean I will get audited?

Filing an amended return may slightly increase your risk of an audit, but most amended returns are processed without additional inquiry. If your amendment is well-documented and reasonable, audit risk remains low. The benefits of correcting errors and claiming missed deductions typically outweigh the small increase in audit risk.

How long does it take to get my refund from an amended return?

The IRS takes longer to process amended returns than original returns, and it can take up to 16 weeks during busy periods. We’ll help you track your amendment status and notify you when your refund is processed.

Can I file an amended return if I didn't file an original return?

You must file an original return before you can amend it. If you never filed for a particular year, you need to file a late original return instead of an amendment. We can help determine whether you need an original late filing or an amended return.

Is it worth amending my return for a small refund?

We can help you determine if your refund amount and our fee for the amendment make it worth amending your return. We’ll calculate the potential benefit and give you an honest assessment of whether the amendment makes sense for your situation. Sometimes we recommend waiting to include corrections on next year’s return instead.

Do you have Spanish-speaking preparers?

Yes, we have certified bilingual staff who can explain everything in Spanish and help you understand your amended tax return and overall tax situation.
