Where do you mail an amended tax return

To mail an amended tax return (Form 1040-X), you should send it to the following address:

Internal Revenue Service Amended Return Department 1111 Constitution Ave NW Washington, DC 20224-0002

Make sure to:

  1. Use the correct address: The address above is specific to amended returns. Do not send your amended return to your local IRS office or any other address.
  2. Use the correct form: You should use Form 1040-X to amend your individual income tax return. If you're amending a business tax return, use the corresponding form (e.g., Form 1120-X for a corporation).
  3. Attach all required documents: Include all supporting documentation, such as W-2s, 1099s, and receipts for deductions and credits.
  4. Sign and date the form: Make sure to sign and date the amended return in the space provided.
  5. Use the correct postage: Use a first-class stamp or certified mail with return receipt requested to ensure your amended return is received by the IRS.

It's also a good idea to keep a copy of your amended return and supporting documents for your records.
