IRS or State Tax Amendment Status

Once your IRS tax amendment has been completed and e-filed, monitor the tax amendment status via the instructions below. You can generally track your state tax amendment status through the state.

• Attention: If you did not use eFile.com to prepare and e-file your original 2023 tax year tax return, you can NOT e-file your tax amendment via eFile.com. In that case, either use the app where you filed your tax return or prepare the 1040-X amendment paper form for free and mail it in. If you e-file an IRS tax amendment via eFile.com, you do not need to mail it in.

How to Track Your IRS Tax Amendment?

See below on how to monitor your IRS tax amendment status.

1. Sign In

After you have prepared and e-filed your IRS tax amendment via eFile.com: Sign to your eFile.com account, then select My Return in the upper left and monitor the tax amendment status on the right-side page.
Important: If you did not use eFile.com to e-file an IRS tax amendment, you will not see the IRS tax amendment status in this account.
You cannot e-file a state tax amendment via eFile.com or anywhere else. Instead, follow these state tax amendment instructions.

You will see the e-filing status of the e-filed IRS tax amendment as shown below.

2. IRS Tax Amendment Status

Once your tax amendment is accepted by the IRS, check your IRS tax amendment status here . In case the tax amendment got rejected by the IRS - not eFile.com - you will receive an email to re-efile the amendment without additional charges. Find out why your IRS tax amendment might be delayed at the IRS.

3. IRS Tax Payment as a Result of the Tax Amendment

If you owe taxes as the result of the tax amendment, we recommend you first e-file the tax amendment and not pay during the e-filing process. Once the tax amendment has been accepted, pay directly at the IRS site  at no charge. You do NOT need to mail in the form 1040-X if you e-file the form. If you created the 1040-X tax amendment on paper, include a check with the tax amendment and mail it to the IRS mailing address for your tax amendment.
Tip: In case you owe taxes, file the tax amendment even if you cannot pay taxes due at this time, as you would not face potential late filing penalties which are generally higher than late payment penalties. Other tax payment options are listed here.

4. State Tax Amendment(s)

The state tax amendment status report will vary from state to state; our state pages have information and instruction: state income tax amendment status by state.
