What is the Process for Creating and E-Filing an Amended Return for the 2020 Tax Year?

Start an Amended Return

  • From within the tax return, select the option “20XX Amended Return” for the current year’s tax return. 

The Amended Tax Return Menu will be opened by the program. You will have about 7 options to choose from. In order to get a detailed step by step guide on how to prepare an Amended Return, start by Selecting How to Amend Your Return. 

  • You must first complete the Original Federal Return Information before beginning an amended return. This column will be automatically filed in the event that the original return was e-filed and accepted via the Taxx Savage Pro from the same office. If this is not the case, you will be required to manually fill this column. 
  • Once done, click on Continue. You will be taken back to the Amended Tax Return - 1040X Menu. 
  • Select Make Corrections for Amended Return then click on Continue. You will land on the Income page of the tax return. Make the necessary changes: focus on the incorrect or omitted information. 
  • Go back to the Amended Tax Return - Form 1040X menu. 

Explain Changes 

  1. Click on the BEGIN button that is next to the Explain Changes option to provide an explanation for why you are amending the original tax return. Ensure that you are descriptive and that all the changes are listed. Once done, click on Continue. 

Create an Amended State Return 

  • To make changes to the tax return that has already been accepted, select Amended State Return(s). Next to the state return that you would like to amend, click on Edit Amended. In case you need to amend other state returns, later come back to this menu. 
  • Select Amended Return from the bottom of the state return. 
  • To the Questions: To create Form …, tax return that has been amended, answer YES then complete the additional section that follows. 
  • Next to the Review and Complete Amended Return, click on the Begin option. 
  • Enter the information that is required as well as the Explanation of Changes then click Save via the State Main Menu
  • Exit the State Return. 

Note: Ensure that all city, school district or county tax returns are completed within the correct state(s) 

E-File an Amended Return 

Beginning from 2019, E-Filing is possible for amended returns through the ProWeb software.  Only the 2019 and 2020 amended returns are capable of being e-filed. Previous year amended return(s) are supposed to be mailed together with a copy of the original return.
