1040-X (Amendment)

Made a mistake on your prior return? We'll fix and resubmit it.

We fix past mistakes and help you move forward with peace of mind.

Form 1040-X is used to correct previously filed federal income tax returns—whether it's a missed deduction, incorrect income, a filing status error, or an overlooked credit. Amending your return ensures you stay compliant, avoid penalties, and potentially claim a refund you didn't know you were entitled to. At Nuvex, we help individuals amend their returns with clarity and confidence. Whether you filed on your own, used another preparer, or just realized something was off, we'll walk you through what went wrong—and fix it right.

Our Amendment Service includes but is not limited to:

  • Preparation and e-filing (or paper submission) of Form 1040-X

  • Explanation of what changed and why—so you fully understand the update

  • Coordination with state tax amendments (if required)

  • Adjustment of income, deductions, credits, or filing status

  • Guidance on refund expectations or balance due

  • Review of IRS letters (if received) tied to the original return

  • Final walkthrough of the corrected return before submission

  • Optional letter of explanation to support your changes

Common reasons for amending include:

  • Missed or misreported 1099s, W‑2s, or other income

  • Forgotten deductions or credits (education, childcare, etc.)

  • Changes to filing status or dependent claims

  • IRS notices indicating a discrepancy

No shame, no blame—just clear corrections.

If you're unsure whether an amendment is necessary, we'll help you evaluate first—before filing anything.
