Form 1040-X corrects a previously filed individual return. It compares original or previously adjusted figures with changes and corrected amounts, and includes an explanation. Correcting a Formz draft before filing is different from amending a return already filed with the IRS. ## Records to gather - Original filed return and any subsequent IRS adjustments - Tax year being amended and taxpayer/spouse identities - Original amounts, increases/decreases and corrected totals - Explanation of each change and corrected supporting forms ## Fields you will work through The guided editor groups the supported fields into practical steps.

Formz does not submit the amendment. ## Common questions Should I use 1040-X to fix an unfiled draft? 1040-X is for a previously filed return. For an unfiled draft, correct the original return and review it before filing. If a return was filed, follow the amendment instructions for that tax period. Which Form 1040-X revision does Formz support? The current catalog lists 2025-12. Select an available year inside the editor where offered and compare that PDF with the reporting period you need. A supported historical revision is not a claim that it is suitable for a current-year obligation. Does downloading Form 1040-X complete filing? No. Formz prepares the supported PDF from your supplied entries. You must review signatures, attachments, copy labels and the applicable delivery or filing method separately. It does not submit government forms or provide filing acceptance. ## Related forms and guides [Individual income-tax forms and schedules](/categories/individual-tax.md)[Form 1040 Form 1040 is the main U.](/forms/1040.md)[Schedule 1 Schedule 1 adds specified income and adjustments to an individual return.](/forms/schedule-1.md) ## Official sources Source links reviewed October 4, 2026.
