Tax Musings of a Burbank CPA: Tips for Filing an Amended Return

Did you or your preparer make a mistake on a tax return?  Did more information come in affecting a return that has already been filed?  This tip from the IRS gives details about amending a previously filed tax return:

Most important to remember is that with the IRS you have a statute of limitations that runs three years from filing – so if you always filed by April 15, the oldest return you can now amend to get money back is limited to the 2012 return, which can be amended until April 15, 2016.  If you filed an extension for 2011, you may still be able to amend that year.  Talk to your preparer for more information.
