- You forgot to include income from a foreign job or U.S. source
- You missed key deductions or foreign tax credits
- You filed without including Form 2555, Form 1116, or FATCA

Frequently asked questions
When should I file an amended tax return?
You should file Form 1040X if you made a mistake on your original return — such as omitting income, forgetting to claim deductions or credits, or submitting the wrong filing status. If the IRS already contacted you, it’s even more important to amend promptly.
What kinds of changes can be made with Form 1040X?
Form 1040X can be used to correct most errors, including:
- Reporting missed foreign or U.S. income
- Adding Form 2555 or Form 1116
- Correcting your filing status
- Updating dependent information
- Fixing math or reporting errors
How long do I have to file an amended return?
Generally, you have up to 3 years from the original filing date (or 2 years from when you paid the tax, if later) to amend a return and claim a refund.
Will amending my return increase my audit risk?
Filing an amended return doesn’t automatically trigger an audit, but it can draw attention if major changes are made. That’s why we ensure everything is accurate, consistent, and well-documented.
Why does it cost $400?
Unlike a simple fix, amending a return requires us to fully retype, recalculate, and rebuild the entire return from scratch — including the original and corrected versions. It’s a manual, detailed process done to IRS standards.
