How do I amend my submitted my tax return for 2024? It is in Pending status. I submitted the other day and realized I left off a 1098 from a previous lender.

No additional details needed. My mistake I left off a tax document and the status is currently pending. Don't see anywhere to unsubmit or edit.

    Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved


    You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
    If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
    If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


    Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
