Flippin %#$&#*@ tax questions!!

I'm IRS illiterate I guess (either that or their site sucks!!!) I"m trying to find out how I correct a return from last year (in my favor - I don't owe thank god - they owe me)
But I can't find the flippin answer to my question. Anyone know anything about this tax crap?

Can't you call H&R Block or some place like that?

What are you trying to find out? By the way, the IRS has a website, just key in IRS and they have questions and answers there.

There is a form, 1040x that you need to complete.

Heres a quick article I found:

and a link to said form:

H&R block
Don't trust them. 5 years ago they forgot one of my kids and had us almost file a return that showed us owing $7000 when we were due a refund that year of almost $2000 instead.
Anyways, I did manage to find out what I need to do. Unfortunately I had to call the IRS which was exactly what I was trying to avoid doing cause you're usually on hold FOREVER
But - they actually answered really quickly and I was off phone fairly fast.

So - we can close this thread now - closed because Lisa was too damn stubborn to pick up the phone and call the IRS so posted here instead.

was there - website sucks. Or I"m just an idiot or impatient. (probably both )

Yeah, pop into the IRS web site, and see if that can answer your questions.

Have you ever used Turbo Tax? We use that, and it makes everything fairly easy.

Use 1040x. I had to refile one year and it was actually easier than I thought it would be.

Actually I've used TaxAct for 4 years now (this is the 4th) and it's only $10. It's IRS approved and it's a great site. Very simple to use instructions.

Glad you got your questions answered! Good to get more money back than you thought!
