But, one thing is clear: Unlike an original Form 1040 – 90% of which are e-filed – amended returns are processed by an actual person at the IRS. That means the IRS doesn't automatically accept amended returns. However, the IRS won't open an audit (or, “examination”) simply because you file an amended return.
Can you change your tax filing status at any time?
The IRS allows you to change your filing status for a tax return you've already filed if no more than three years have passed since the original tax filing deadline.
Are you concerned that if you file an amended return that it will trigger an IRS audit? If so—don't be. Amending a return is not unusual and it doesn't raise any red flags with the IRS. In fact, the IRS doesn't want you to overpay or underpay your taxes because of mistakes you make on the original return you file.
Federal law allows only state and federal government agencies (not individual or private creditors) to take your refund as payment toward a debt.
Q- How can I cancel my revised return? Cancellation of a filed document is not possible however, in case the revised return has some errors, then it can be revised again subject to the time limit specified under section 139(5) of income tax act, or you can skip the e-verification of the revised return wrongly filed.
There is no penalty for simply filing an amended return. But if your mistake caused you to underpay tax, you will owe that additional tax.
