Correct Errors on Your Previously Filed Return

Superfast Tax Service prepares amended tax returns for individuals and small businesses in Walla Walla, Washington.

You filed your taxes in Walla Walla, received your refund or paid your balance, and then discovered a missed deduction, an incorrect income entry, or a dependent you forgot to claim, which means your original return no longer reflects your actual tax liability. Superfast Tax Service prepares IRS Form 1040X to correct previously filed returns, adjusting income, deductions, credits, and filing status to ensure your tax record is accurate and you receive any additional refund you are owed.

The preparation process reviews your original return line by line, identifies the errors or omissions, and recalculates your tax liability using the corrected information. Multilingual support is available in English, Spanish, and Russian, so you can explain what went wrong and understand what changes are being made. Whether you are amending an individual return or correcting a small business filing in Walla Walla, your preparer ensures the 1040X is accurate and submitted properly.

How We Review and Correct Prior-Year Returns

Your preparer in Walla Walla pulls your original tax return, compares it to the new documentation you provide, and marks the lines that need to be changed on Form 1040X. Each correction is explained in the attached statement, and the form shows the original amount, the corrected amount, and the difference.

After the amended return is filed, you receive a copy showing what was changed and how it affected your refund or balance due. If you are owed additional money, the IRS issues a separate refund check once the amendment is processed, which typically takes eight to twelve weeks.

If you are correcting a business return, your preparer also reviews related schedules such as Schedule C to ensure all changes are reflected accurately. The service does not provide audit representation or negotiate settlements, but it does prepare the 1040X correctly and ensure all required documentation is attached before mailing.

Questions Taxpayers Ask About Amending Returns

Individuals and business owners in Walla Walla who need to amend a return often ask about timing, documentation, and what happens after the form is submitted, and these answers help set expectations.

What reasons would I need to file an amended return?
You would file an amended return if you forgot to report income, claimed the wrong filing status, missed a deduction or credit, or made a math error that affected your refund or balance due. Your preparer reviews your original return to identify what needs correction.
How long does it take for the IRS to process an amended return?
Amended returns typically take eight to twelve weeks to process, and you can check the status online using the IRS Where's My Amended Return tool. If you are owed a refund, it will be mailed separately after the amendment is approved.
What documents do I need to bring to amend my return?
You need a copy of your original tax return and any new or corrected documents such as missed W-2 forms, updated 1099 forms, or receipts for deductions you did not claim. Your preparer in Walla Walla uses these to recalculate your tax liability.
Why would my amended return be rejected or delayed?
Amendments are delayed if the IRS has not finished processing your original return, if required documentation is missing, or if the changes were not clearly explained. Your preparer ensures the 1040X is complete and accurate before it is mailed.
How far back can I amend a tax return?
You can amend a return within three years of the original filing date or within two years of paying the tax, whichever is later. Your preparer confirms whether your return is still eligible for amendment before starting the process.

Whether you missed a deduction, forgot to report income, or claimed the wrong filing status in Walla Walla, Superfast Tax Service prepares your Form 1040X with attention to every corrected line and provides multilingual support so you understand what was changed and what to expect next.
