Now, you can help your clients quickly send in electronically correct previously filed tax returns, while minimizing errors.<\/p>\n<p>Making the 1040-X an electronically filed form has been a goal for the tax software and tax profession for years. It&#8217;s been a continuing recommendation from the IRS Advisory Council and Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee\u00a0Currently, taxpayers must mail a completed Form 1040-X to the IRS for processing.

Additional improvements are planned for the future.\u00a0About 3 million Forms 1040-X are filed by taxpayers each year.<\/p>\n<p>Taxpayers still have the option to submit a paper version of the Form 1040-X, and should follow the instructions for preparing and submitting the paper form.
