If you are an individual filing an amended personal income tax return, use Schedule X, California Explanation of Amended Return Changes, to determine any additional amount you owe or refund due to you, and to provide reason(s) for amending.

Enter the overpaid tax (refund + amount applied to your estimated tax, if any) from your original tax return. If the FTB changed your original tax return and the result was an additional overpayment of tax, also include the amount on line 2. Do not include any interest you received on any refund.

Enter the amount actually paid with your original tax return. Also, include any additional payments of tax made after the original tax return was filed. Do not include payments of interest or penalties.

You may also pay by credit card. Call 800-272-9829 or go to the ACI Payments, Inc. (formerly Offical Payments) website at officialpayments.com and use the jurisdiction code 1555. ACI Payments, Inc. charges a convenience fee for this service.

If you are including penalties with your payment, enter the amount of penalties on line 8a. Also, attach a statement to your tax return that shows the following information for each type of penalty included on line 8a: type of penalty (description); the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) or R&TC section that provides for assessment of the penalty (if possible); and how you computed the penalty.

If you owe additional tax (line 7) and are including interest with your payment, enter the interest on line 8b. If you do not include interest with your payment or include only a portion of it, the FTB will figure the interest and bill you for it.

If you are entitled to a refund greater than the amount claimed or allowed on your original tax return, your Schedule X should show only the additional amount due to you. This amount will be refunded separately from the amount allowed on your original tax return. The FTB will figure any interest owed to you and include it in your refund.

The total direct deposit amount on the amended return of the lines listed above must equal the total amount of your refund on Schedule X, line 11. If they are not equal, the FTB will issue a paper check.

Your refund may be denied or delayed if you did not explain in sufficient detail the changes made or did not attach the supporting documents and revised forms. Attach additional pages if needed to provide a clear, detailed explanation. Be sure to include your name and SSN or ITIN on each attachment.

I filed the client's 1040 in May; client owes tax which he planned to pay by July 15. He has now found additional documentation which will eliminate the tax owed and give him a small refund. I am preparing a 1040X which will show zero in the field "tax paid with original return" and show a small refund. I know that the IRS is going to expect their money and probably send him notices that he has not paid the tax that was due on the original return because they are not going to look at this amended return for weeks or months. Should I write "Superseded" on top of the 1040X. Am I approaching this situation properly? Thank you for your advice.

You may want to wait and Efile an amended return when they open that ability later in August..assuming ProSeries will have this function..I saw notification that Lacerte will be ready, but nothing official for ProSeries.

No, neither "Suspended", or "Superceded" is the lingo that the IRS will accept as part of a tax filing. If you filed the previous return without a payment, the tax software would have generated a balance due. When you file the amended return, you only change the forms that are effected by the change. My suggestion is go to the Form 1040X instructions, and follow what the IRS requires as part of a change. Make sure you write Original Return - Do Not Process on the heading of the original forms, and Amended As Filed on the amended forms that effected the change. Only include the forms that are effected by the change - Original, and Amended. If you include the entire return on forms that have not changed, the IRS will send it back with scribbles on it, and you will have to refile it. Read the instructions, and follow them as described.

I'm working on my 2020 taxes and realized that I made a mistake in my documentation of a backdoor roth on my 2019 Form 8606. I've corrected it - and there's no change to the refund/amount due - but I'm not clear on what I have to file.

You could either just send the Form 8606 to the IRS or you can wait until about mid-March and file an amend. Filing an amend is probably easier and then your 1040X will have the correct information for your records. I would advise filing the amend.

Use Form 8606 to report: Nondeductible contributions you made to traditional IRAs. Distributions from traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs, if you have ever made nondeductible contributions to traditional IRAs. Conversions from traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs to Roth IRAs. Distributions from Roth IRAs.

I just mailed the 1040X for IRS ( Federal Tax). Should I still need to file for State tax? I don't think there is Form 8606 in state tax and based on your previous answer, I don't need to. I just want to verify. Thanks.

Hi, it appears from Mary & Renee's comment that if you had already filed 2020 tax return but only missing the non-taxable contribution to TIRA that filling out the 8606 is sufficient (i.e. no need to do 1040x). However, the language from What taxpayers should know about amending a tax return Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov) also says "The IRS will mail a request about the missing item." I filed my tax return in March, made contribution in April 2021, and yet I have not received anything from the IRS. Should I proactively fill out the 8606 to avoid the $50 penalty or wait ? p.12 of Instructions for Form 1040-X (Rev. January 2020) (irs.gov) says to do so if changing TIRA so now I'm not so sure.... TIA,

Do not wait for an IRS notice for a missing 8606 since it may never come ... simply fill in the 8606, sign it and mail it as it says to do in the 8606 instructions. Since it is considered a "stand alone" form it doesn't need to be attached to a 1040.

btw, since I filed the 1040 in March, made the TIRA in April & am now filing the 8606, how do I know if the $50 penalty applies? the amendment statement says you have up to 3 years ( -you-file/discussion/amend-8606-filing-instructions/00/195232...) but this is not an amendment. How does one know ?

You are NOT amending anything if you are simply reporting a non-deductible contribution made in April after you filed.. You are simply filing an ORIGINAL 8606 for the contribution made after you filed.

Simply attach a statement to the mailed 8606 form saying that you are reporting non-deductible contribution made by the due date of the tax return but after you filed so the 8606 was not included in your original tax return. There will not be any penalty.
