Tax Amendments

Correcting errors or making changes to previously filed tax returns can be a complicated process, but it’s essential to ensure accuracy and compliance with tax regulations. At Trust Tax Service, we specialize in handling tax amendments, helping individuals and businesses correct mistakes, claim overlooked deductions or credits, and ensure their tax filings are up-to-date and accurate.

What is a Tax Amendment?

A tax amendment involves filing a corrected tax return to address errors or omissions in a previously submitted tax return. This process is necessary if you discover that you made a mistake, missed reporting income, or failed to claim a deduction or credit on your original tax return. For federal taxes, this is done by filing Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, and for state taxes, it involves specific state amendment forms.

Common Reasons for Filing a Tax Amendment

• Incorrect Income Reporting: Failing to report all income sources or discovering additional income that needs to be reported.

• Missed Deductions or Credits: Overlooking deductions or credits that could reduce your tax liability and result in a higher refund.

• Incorrect Filing Status: Selecting the wrong filing status, such as filing as single instead of head of household.

• Errors in Dependent Information: Incorrect or omitted information regarding dependents.

• Incorrect Tax Calculations: Errors in the math or tax calculations on the original return.

• Changes in Tax Laws: Retroactive changes in tax laws that affect your previous tax filings.
