Accurate, Stress-Free Tax Amendments from a Trusted Local Firm
Filing taxes can be complicated, and mistakes happen—especially if you rushed through DIY software or used an inexperienced preparer. But a filed return isn’t set in stone. At Molen & Associates, we specialize in “second look” reviews. Whether you received a corrected W-2, forgot to claim a dependent, or simply have a nagging feeling that you missed a deduction, we are here to set the record straight.

Why You Might Need to Amend Your Tax Return
There are a few reasons why you might need to amend your tax return. The most common reason is that you forgot to include something on your original return. This could be anything from a W-2 form to interest earned on a savings account.
If you discover that you made a mistake on your return after you have already filed it, don’t panic! You can fix it by filing an amended return. An amended return is simply a new return that includes the corrected information.
Another reason you might need to amend your tax return is if you receive additional income after you have already filed your return. This could be in the form of a bonus from work or some other type of windfall. If you receive additional income, you will need to report it and may end up owing more taxes. However, if you have already paid more taxes than you owe, you will be due a refund.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.
How do I know if I need to file an amended tax return?
You should file an amendment (Form 1040-X) if there is a significant change to your filing status, income, deductions, or credits. Common reasons include receiving a late W-2 or 1099 after you filed, realizing you forgot to claim a valuable tax credit, or needing to correct an error in your dependency status.
If I made a simple math error, do I need to hire you to amend it?
Usually, no. The IRS computer system automatically checks for math errors and will generally correct them for you, sending a notice of the adjustment. However, if the error involves missing forms or incorrect filing status, the IRS cannot fix that automatically, and you will need to file an amendment.
Is there a deadline for filing an amendment to get a refund?
Yes, there is a strict statute of limitations. Generally, to claim a refund, you must file your amended return within
Will filing an amended return increase my chances of being audited?
This is a common fear, but filing an amendment does not automatically trigger an audit. In fact, filing an amendment to correct a mistake shows a good-faith effort to be compliant. However, the IRS will review the specific changes you are making, so it is vital to have documentation supporting the new information.
How long does it take for the IRS to process an amended return?
Patience is required. Amended returns take significantly longer to process than regular returns. It can take the IRS
