Where should I do a tax return amendment?
I filed for my income tax return earlier this year with H&R Block Online, but later received another W-2 from older job. This w-2 seems to guarantee me a larger refund, so I was wondering should I try to file the amendment on my own (w/ help of parents of course) or bite the bullet and pay the local tax businesses freaking $50-$100? I’m only considering that because I’m trying to see what is the QUICKEST route in receiving the refund.
Thanks for your help!
I wouldn’t count on a refund unless your total income for all W-2s was less than $5450.
Get IRS form 1040A and fill it out as if you were filing for the first time. DO NOT SEND THIS IN.
Get form 1040X and fill it out as follows:
column A from original return.
column C from dummy return.
column B, one line at a time. This is essentially the number you add to A to get C. It isn’t always obvious.
Send in the 1040x with the W-2.
