Do amended returns get mailed
In the United States, the IRS typically does not mail amended returns (Form 1040-X) to taxpayers. Instead, taxpayers must file amended returns electronically or by mail.
Here are the options for filing an amended return:
- Electronic Filing: You can file an amended return electronically using tax preparation software, such as TurboTax, H&R Block, or TaxAct. This is the fastest and most convenient way to file an amended return.
- Mail: You can also file an amended return by mail. To do this, you'll need to complete Form 1040-X and attach any supporting documentation, such as corrected W-2s or 1099s. Mail the amended return to the IRS address listed on the form.
Where to Mail an Amended Return:
If you're mailing an amended return, use the following address:
Internal Revenue Service Amended Returns 1111 Constitution Ave NW Washington, DC 20224-0002
Important:
- Make sure to sign and date the amended return.
- Attach all supporting documentation, such as corrected W-2s or 1099s.
- Keep a copy of the amended return and supporting documentation for your records.
- If you're filing an amended return to claim a refund, you may need to wait until the IRS processes your original return before processing your amended return.
Remember to check the IRS website or consult with a tax professional if you have any questions or concerns about filing an amended return.
