What do I do if I filed an incorrect tax return?
If you made a mistake on your tax return, you need to correct it with the IRS. To correct the error, you would need to file an amended return with the IRS. If you fail to correct the mistake, you may be charged penalties and interest. You can file the amended return yourself or have a professional prepare it for you.
Can I refile my taxes if I did them wrong?
If you want to make changes after the original tax return has been filed, you must file an amended tax return using a special form called the 1040-X, entering the corrected information and explaining why you are changing what was reported on your original return. You don’t have to redo your entire return, either.

Can I cancel my tax return?
You can’t cancel the return after it has been e-filed. If you need to change any information in the return, you can only make changes to your return if the IRS rejects it. If the IRS accepts your return, you must use Form 1040-X to file an amended return to fix the mistake.
Can you submit taxes twice?
If you attempt to file your return twice, the IRS will reject the return and return it with an error code and explanation. The IRS typically uses error code 0515 or IND-515 to inform the sender that the taxpayer already filed a tax return for the same year using the same Social Security number.
Can ITR be revised after processing?
Yes, any taxpayer can file a revised income tax return before 3 months in the completion of the assessment year or before the end of the assessment of the return, whichever is earlier.
How much does it cost to amend a tax return?
There’s no charge to file an amended return (1040X). You’ll have to file it on paper (print, sign, and mail) since IRS won’t accept e-filed amended returns.
