Amended Tax Return 📃

1️⃣ Know when to amend
Amend if you👇🏾
• Forgot income (W-2, 1099, side hustle)

• Claimed the wrong filing status
• Added/removed a dependent
• Missed credits (CTC, EITC, education credits)

❌ Don’t amend just because your refund is “taking too long.

If you amend too early, IRS will ignore it or delay both returns.

• If you’re owed → interest might be added

4️⃣ 3-Year Rule
You usually have 3 years from the original filing date to amend and get money back.

TAX CHANGES TO KNOW ABOUT.

Tax season is HERE, and several major changes affect 2025 returns you’ll file in 2026.

While the IRS hasn’t announced the official start date, there are key updates you should know before filing.

-- The standard deduction is going up for 2025 with about a 5% increase on top of normal inflation.

Married couples filing jointly get an extra $1,500.

Seniors 65 and older or those who are blind get an even bigger boost with $2,000 extra for single filers and $1,600 more for each spouse on a joint return.

In 2026 the standard deduction continues rising to $32,200 for married couples filing jointly, $16,100 for single filers, and $24,150 for heads of household.

-- If you’re 65 or older, you may qualify for an additional deduction of up to $6,000 ($12,000 for married couples filing jointly).

-- Families will see a modest boost, with the Child Tax Credit increasing from $2,000 to $2,200 per qualifying child for 2025.

-- Purchased a new American-assembled vehicle in 2025? You might be able to deduct up to $10,000 in interest paid on your loan.

-- Service workers can now deduct up to $25,000 in tip income, while overtime workers can deduct up to $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers).

Getting your W‑2s, 1099s, and other records organized now will make filing smoother and help you maximize refunds.
