How to File a Mississippi Tax Amendment

If you need to change or amend an accepted Mississippi State Income Tax Return for the current or previous Tax Year, you need to complete Form 80-105 (residents) or Form 80-205 (nonresidents and part-year residents). Forms 80-105 and 80-205 are used for the Tax Amendment. You can prepare a Mississippi Tax Amendment on eFile.com. However, you cannot 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).

If the IRS sends you a notification to change an error on your Federal Tax Return, you might have discovered an error on your own. If you or the IRS amend or change one of your IRS Tax Return(s), the IRS will report this to the Mississippi Tax Agency; thus, you should file a Mississippi Amendment within one year.
