- Amend a return
Need to fix something on a filed return?
ASM makes it easy to prepare your federal amendment — whether you originally filed with us or somewhere else.
In order to make changes, corrections, or add information to an income tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the IRS, you must file a tax amendment to amend your accepted federal or state tax return.
You can check the status of your Form 1040X — Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return using the IRS “Where’s My Amended Return?” tool, or by calling the toll-free number 866-464-2050 three weeks after filing.
