How many years back can you put in an amended return?

You can generally file an amended tax return up to three years back from the original filing deadline, including extensions. If you are claiming a refund, you must file the amended return within this three-year window. However, if you are amending due to a bad debt or worthless security, you may have a longer period of up to seven years. Always check the latest IRS guidelines or consult a tax professional for specific situations.


If an amended return is based on a non-business bad debt or worthless security how many years (from the original due dateof the return) does a taxpayer have to file the amended return?

This is going to depend on the exact situation of the amendment. Firstly, a non-business bad debt is not deductible for income tax purposes. The second item, you list is a worthless security, which is deductible but limited to the offset of your capital gains and a limited amount of deduction above this amount. The security must be a publicly traded security in order to take a loss on the security. In order to claim a refund on any amended individual return, you have the current year plus two prior years if they are filed within two years of the original due date. For instance, say you neglected to file an allowable loss on your 2015 tax return. You would have two years from April 15th of 2016 to file an amendment or two years from October 15th of 2016 if you had filed a timely extension request for that tax year.


Does an amended return replace?

An amended return does replace the original tax return for the specific tax year being amended. When you file an amended return, it corrects errors or makes changes to the original return, and the IRS processes it as the updated version of your tax filing. However, it's important to note that the original return remains on record; the amended return simply provides a revised account of your tax situation.


If a tax return is amended can section 179 be reduced?

Yes, if a tax return is amended then section 179 can be reduced. However, you will need to have an accountant or professional tax preparer do the return for you once amended.


How does one file an amended tax return?

An amended tax return can only be filed by mail using form 1040x.
