Before deciding to amend your return, you should be aware that the IRS doesn't want you to file a 1040-X to correct minor mistakes, such as mathematical errors or forgetting to attach required schedules and forms to the return. However, it's not necessary to prepare the actual tax return form again. And if you make changes to other forms and schedules that you filed with the original tax return, you need to prepare them over again. If you do claim a new deduction or tax credit that requires additional forms or schedules, you must be sure to file them with the 1040-X.

Typically, you can use the 1040-X to increase or decrease your gross income, to choose a new filing status that you were eligible for, to claim deductions, exemptions and credits you forgot to report and to eliminate those that you aren't eligible for.

But even if you file on one of these forms, the changes you make on a 1040-X must solely relate to items that affect your taxes and not, for example, to update your address, phone number or other personal information. The IRS only allows you to file an amended return on Form 1040-X to correct a tax return that you originally file on Form 1040, 1040-SR, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ. This is because filing a 1040-X form is only necessary to correct certain types of errors or omissions on an original tax return after it's been filed with the IRS. Unless you've amended a tax return before, you may not know why taxpayers file a 1040-X or when you should use it yourself.
