An amended tax return is used to correct errors or make changes to a tax return that has already been filed. You typically file a Form 1040X for federal returns and NJ-1040X for New Jersey state returns. These forms enable you to update your income, filing status, deductions, or credits.
You should file an amended return if you:
GTA Accounting Group prepares and files accurate amended returns for both federal and NJ tax filings. We guide clients through each step of the correction process and communicate with the IRS or NJ Division of Taxation if needed. Our goal is to resolve tax issues quickly and correctly.
We handle the complete process of preparing and submitting Form 1040X for federal taxes and NJ-1040X for state taxes. This includes reviewing the original return, identifying issues, and ensuring all required forms are correctly filled out and filed.
We help you determine whether your amended return can be e-filed or must be mailed. Federal returns can be e-filed for recent years, but NJ returns typically require mail submission. We ensure everything is submitted in the correct format.
If the IRS or NJDOR sends you notices after filing or rejects your amended return, we help resolve those issues. We respond to notices, assist with audits, and follow up on delayed processing or refund issues.
Filing an amended return in New Jersey involves reviewing your original tax return, completing the correct amendment forms, and submitting the documents either electronically (if eligible) or by mail. GTA Accounting Group assists clients throughout this process.

Federal amended returns can be e-filed or mailed to the IRS. NJ amended returns (Form NJ-1040X) must be mailed to:

Amended tax returns take longer to process than regular returns. GTA Accounting Group monitors the progress of your refund and follows up with the IRS or NJ if there are delays or issues.
Federal amended returns typically take up to 20 weeks to process. NJ returns usually take around 12–16 weeks. Processing times may vary depending on the tax year, the complexity of the return, and the volume of filings.
For federal returns, use the IRS tool: “Where’s My Amended Return” on the IRS website. For New Jersey, you can call the NJ Division of Taxation or check your status using their online system if applicable.
If it’s been more than 20 weeks and you still haven’t received your refund:
You must file your amended return within 3 years from the original due date or 2 years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. GTA Accounting ensures your filing meets all NJ and IRS rules.
You can typically amend returns from the last three tax years. For example, in 2025, you can file amended returns for 2022, 2023, and 2024, as long as you meet the IRS and NJ timelines.
