Amending Your Return on Express Multiservices

Since your return has already been accepted, you start the amending process with a 1040X. To add the screen, click on Review on the left, then search for “1040X” using the search box at the bottom of the screen.

Before you start filling out Form 1040X, make sure you print your original return, so that you’ll have it to refer to.

Fill out Form 1040X with the information from your original return. At the bottom of the screen, you also must explain why you’re amending your return. Save Form 1040X, then correct your return using the other forms on the site, as needed.

Then print your complete return, including Form 1040X, and mail to the IRS address provided above. And make sure you sign page 2 of Form 1040X.

If your state return is accepted, you’ll also need to file an amended state return. Check your state’s tax department website for information on how to do that.
