File an Amended 2011, 2012 Tax Return

Did you make a mistake on your tax return that you have already filed? Maybe you received another W2 that you had forgotten about or you have found that you qualified for additional tax credits that you missed on your original return.

Don’t worry you can file an amended return and still claim the additional income or take advantage of the tax credits that you deserve.

There are other reasons you may need to file an amended return; here are a few examples:

• You may need to claim an additional dependent or remove a dependent that you are unable or didn’t mean to claim.
• Your filling status has changed.
• You have additional tax deductions that you missed on your original return.

However if you made an error in the math on your return, you do not need to file an amended return. The IRS will double check your math and notify you of the change.
