Frequently Asked Questions
You generally have 3 years from the original filing deadline to amend a return and claim a refund. For example, a 2022 return (due April 2023) can be amended until April 2026. After that window closes, you cannot claim a refund but may still need to amend to correct an error or underpayment.
Amended returns are filed by mail and typically take 16 weeks or more to process. You can track the status of your amended return using the IRS "Where's My Amended Return?" tool. We'll help you understand what to expect throughout the process.
Filing an amended return does not automatically trigger an audit. The IRS reviews amended returns, but correcting an honest mistake or claiming a legitimately missed deduction is not a red flag. In fact, proactively correcting errors demonstrates good faith.
Yes — we frequently amend returns prepared by other professionals or by clients themselves. We review the original return, identify issues, and file the correction. Bring us your original return and supporting documents and we'll take it from there.
