how far back can i amend a tax return
The Internal Revenue Service places restrictions on how far back you can amend your tax return, regardless of whether you owed tax or received a refund. Filers must use Form 1040X to amend a return and should only file an amendment to report certain changes. You have three years from the due date of the original return or two years from when you paid tax owing to submit an amended return. A pen next to an income tax form.
