Best Answer

The filing of an amended return does not automatically trigger the assessment of penalties by the IRS.

What could trigger penalties would be having a balance due, the amount of the balance due, and the reason(s) for that balance due.

How long do you have to file income taxes?

You can file federal income tax returns at any time. If you fail to file before the deadline or extended deadline for any year in which you owed tax, then you will incur penalties and interest. You can file amended returns up to three years after filing a return. If you are required to file a return and fail to file, there is no statute of limitations on any tax, penalties and interest you may owe, until you file. Then the IRS has three years in which to assess the charges.
