Can i mail in my tax return twice

I'm happy to help you with your tax return question!

According to the IRS, you can only submit one original tax return for a specific tax year. If you've already filed your tax return and want to make changes or corrections, you'll need to use a different method.

Here are your options:

1. Amended Return (Form 1040-X): If you need to correct errors or make changes to your original return, you can file an amended return (Form 1040-X). This form is used to correct errors, add or subtract items, or make changes to your original return. You can file an amended return at any time, but you'll need to wait until the original return has been processed.
2. Online Account Updates: If you filed your tax return electronically, you can log in to your online account and make changes to your return. You can update your address, add or remove dependents, or make other changes. However, this method is only available for electronic returns and may not be suitable for all types of changes.
3. Paper Return Re-submission: If you filed your tax return by mail and need to make changes, you can re-submit a paper return with the necessary corrections. However, this method is not recommended, as it may cause delays and increase the risk of errors.

It's important to note that mailing in a second tax return is not a recommended or approved method by the IRS. This could lead to errors, delays, and potential penalties.

Before making any changes to your tax return, I recommend consulting with a tax professional or the IRS directly to ensure you're taking the correct steps.
