To correct an error on the original filed income tax return you will have to use the 1040X Amended Individual Income tax return available by going to the IRS gov web site and using the search box for 1040X
File a separate Form 1040X for each year you are amending. Mail each form in a separate envelope. Be sure to indicate the year of the return you are amending on the front of Form 1040X.
The 1040X form now has just one column where the Correct Amount is the only figure entered, making it easier to make changes to previously filed returns. There is an area on the front of the form to explain why you are filing Form 1040X. Generally, to claim a refund, Form 1040X must be filed within 3 years from the date of your original return or within 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. Returns filed before the due date (without regard to extensions) are considered filed on the due date.
Attach copies of any forms or schedules that are being changed as a result of the amendment including any Forms W-2 received after the original return was filed.
The correctly filled out 1040X amended individual income tax return will have to be mailed to the correct IRS address and you can find the address in the instructions for the 1040 tax form.
Normal processing time for Forms 1040X is 8 to 12 weeks from the IRS receipt date.
Please Note: Your state tax liability may be affected by a change made on your federal return. For information on how to correct your state tax return, contact your state tax agency.

If you already have filed a tax return for that previous year, then you should amend your original return to correct that omission. Form 1040X is Amended U.S. Individual Income Return. You're allowed to amend 3 years after the date of filing your original return or two years after the date of paying taxes, if any, whichever is later. If you haven't filed a return for that year and weren't required to file, then you should file if tax was withheld to receive a refund of that tax.

What does overpayment mean on your state taxes and what does it mean by Amend?
"Overpayment" means that you paid more income tax than you owed and, therefore, are probably due a refund. "Amend" means to send in a corrected tax return, which will take the place of the original return.
If you filed taxes last year and filed wrong will you still be able to get the money back this year?
Yes. If you file your original (first) return before the due date, you have 3 years from the due date to amend and claim a refund. If you file your original return after the due date (and within 3 years after the due date), you have 3 years from the date you filed to amend and claim a refund. See Form 1040X instructions to amend your federal return. If you live in a state with personal income tax, you will also need to amend your state return. Most states use the same due dates and refund claim dates. Example 1: Your 2008 return was due on April 15th, 2009. Your original return was received by the IRS on February 21, 2009. You have until April 15th, 2012 to amend your return and claim a refund. Example 2: You did not file your 2008 return before the due date. The IRS received your 2008 return on March 25, 2011. You have until March 25, 2014 to amend your return and claim a refund. Example 3: You did not file your 2008 return before the due date. The IRS received your 2008 return on April 20, 2012. You filed outside of the time limit to claim a refund, so you cannot get a refund. You also cannot amend and get a refund.
