File an amended return

Learn how to file an amended return if a return you already filed needs to be updated.

If you realize that information on one of your filed returns has changed or was missing, you will need to file an amended return. You may realize that your return was incorrect, or a state may contact you about missing or incorrect information. When information on one of your reports changes, you will see an orange Fix button next to it.
  1. Click the Fix button next to the report, then click Download to download the changed report.
  2. File your amended return:
    • For e-file returns, go to your AutoFile Settings to find a link to the relevant state website and your login credentials. Submit your changed return according to the state process.
    • For paper returns, on your changed return you will find address and check payment information for the state (usually at the top or bottom of the PDF). Mail your amended return according to this information. Indicate on the return that it is amended by checking any applicable box or otherwise filling out the appropriate fields.
    • For email returns, on your changed return, locate the email address for the state and submit your return to this address. If you can't find an email address, contact AutoFile or the applicable state department.
