How to File a Connecticut State Tax Amendment
Do you need to amend or change an accepted Connecticut State Income Tax Return for the current or previous Tax Year? If so, you can complete and sign Form CT 1040X. Form is listed below CT 1040X and used for the Tax Return and Tax Amendment.
You can prepare a current tax year Connecticut Tax Amendment Form on eFile.com, however you can not submit it electronically. In comparison, the IRS requires a different Form - Form 1040X -to amend an IRS return (do not use Form 1040 for an IRS Amendment).
The IRS might send you a notification to change an error on your Return, or you might have discovered an error. If you or the IRS amended or changed one of your IRS Tax Return(s), the IRS will report this to the Connecticut Tax Agency, thus you should file a Connecticut Tax Amendment within one year.
Prepare only a CT State Return without an IRS return.
