Can you amend and mail in instead

You're referring to the option to amend and mail in your tax return instead of filing electronically.

Yes, you can amend and mail in your tax return if you need to make changes to your original return. Here are the steps:

1. Obtain Form 1040-X: You can download and print Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, from the IRS website or order it by calling 1-800-829-3676.
2. Complete the form: Fill out the form accurately and completely, including all required information and supporting documentation.
3. Attach supporting documents: Attach any supporting documents, such as W-2s, 1099s, and receipts, to the amended return.
4. Sign and date the form: Sign and date the amended return in the same manner as your original return.
5. Mail the amended return: Mail the amended return to the IRS address listed on the form, which is usually the address for your state or local tax authority.

Important notes:

• Make sure to keep a copy of the amended return and supporting documents for your records.
• The IRS may take longer to process amended returns than original returns, so be patient and allow extra time for processing.
• If you're amending a return that was filed electronically, you'll need to file a paper amended return.
• If you're amending a return that was filed on paper, you can either file a paper amended return or file electronically using tax software that supports amended returns.

Remember to check the IRS website for any specific instructions or requirements for amending your tax return.
