If you filed Form 1040 or 1040-SR electronically and it was accepted by the IRS, you can e-file Form 1040-X. You still have the option of printing and mailing your Form 1040-X if you prefer.
If your initial return was rejected and you didn't mail a return, you can correct and resubmit your e-file without an amended return. If you need help, go to our Correct and Resubmit E-Files FAQ.
If your amended return indicates you owe tax, you can pay that tax liability in the same way you would for your initial filing. Go to our Tax Due Payment Methods (Federal Only) FAQ for details.
Beginning in processing year 2023, Direct Deposit can be requested for electronically filed amended returns for tax year 2022 and tax year 2023.
In TaxAct, how you prepare your amended return has not changed. You can find detailed steps for amending and e-filing your federal return at our Form 1040X - How to Create an Amended Return FAQ.
