How to File an Amended Arkansas Return
If you need to change or amend an accepted Arkansas State Income Tax Return for the current or previous Tax Year, you need to complete Form AR1000F (residents) or Form AR1000NR (nonresidents and part-year residents).Forms AR1000F and AR1000NR are Forms used for the Tax Amendment. You can prepare a current Tax Year Arkansas Tax Amendment on eFile.com, however you cannot submit it electronically. In comparison, the IRS requires a different Form - Form 1040X - to amend an IRS return (do not use Form 1040 for an IRS Amendment).
The IRS might send you a notification to change an error on your Return, or you might have discovered an error. If you or the IRS amended or changed one of your IRS Tax Return(s), the IRS will report this to the Arkansas Tax Agency, thus you should file an Arkansas Amendment within one year.
