Notes

Before applying this amend tax return app, it may be a good idea to spend a few minutes to go through this Quick Guide_tm. Access to the guide itself does not require your email registration. The final report on the last page of this app will follow an approach similar to that shown in the guide in producing an output essentially identical to a completed amended tax return Form 1040X.

The overriding principle in designing this app, like our other apps, is this: a simplest possible structure to deal with most of basic and straight-forward tax situations and yet flexible enough to effectively address much more complex tax scenarios.

The first step is to fill in what are needed in the rows of column A of Form 1040X. This is based directly on the data reported in the tax return you filed earlier.

You are filing Form 1040X since something is not quite right about your originally filed tax return, so the next step is to rectify whatever the problems you have identified. The result of such a process is then reported in Column C of Form 1040X.

For any given item reflecting in a particular row of the form, the difference between the numbers in Column A and Column C is "Net change" which can be positive, negative, or zero and they are reported in Column B in the middle.

You will need to provide an explanation of those changes in a provided space under Part III on the second page of Form 1040X, together with any supporting documents if applicabe.

This is a serious software that should help you to complete your tax accurately and efficiently, given your submitted input. It can handle tax scenarios far more complex than basic, simple federal income tax returns, provided that you do your part to prepare your basic calculations in those more involved cases. To help you take full advantage of it, we provide as much as possible detailed instructions in every page, especially in those pages where you need to enter the required input. It would be worthwhile to follow closely those instructions.

Additional Important Remarks

We will NOT offer to electronically file your federal tax returns for you. Consequently, the ONLY piece of information needed for you to register to use the app is your regular valid, verifiable email address that you can gain access to. In the process of using our app you will NEVER be asked to give your personal information such as your name(s), addresses, phone numbers, Social Security number(s), etc. On the last page of the app, the final results will appear as a report resembling almost line-by-line Form 1040X of your Amended Individual Income Tax Return.

Only recently (August 17, 2020) the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that Form 1040X (previously Form 1040-X)—Amended Individual Income Tax Return, can be electronically submitted with commercial tax-filing software, presumably involving certain fees. Unlike Form 1040—Individual Income Tax Return, which can be directly completed and filed electronically (e-file) using IRS Free File Fillable Forms, this option is not currently available for filing Form 1040X. Of course, you may decide to simply file your Amended Tax Return by mail after completing the paper form using the results generated in the app's final report.

Free to use for the time being, and even when a nominal fee will be charged, the app is offered only for your PERSONAL use to prepare your OWN tax return—by using it, you automatically agree with this condition. We reserve the right to suspend your use of the app, without warnings, if this condition is violated.

Finally, our app is made available only for educational purposes by nature. Consult your tax advisors, lawyers and investment advisers for your professional needs.

Good Luck!
