If you've already e-filed your return, you won't be able to change it. It's like putting a letter in the mailbox. You can't retrieve it.

  • You'll have to wait until the IRS accepts or rejects your return.
  • The IRS has announced that they will begin accepting and processing 2020 individual tax returns on February 12, 2021.

 

If your return gets rejected, you'll be able to add your form and submit the corrected return.

 

If your return gets accepted, you'll need to to amend your income tax return, if it increases your refund or decreases your amount due. 

 

Note: Generally, Form 1040-X,  Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, must be filed within three years of the date the original return was filed, or within two years of the date the tax was paid, whichever is later.
