West Virginia Tax Amendment Form IT-140
If you need to change or amend an accepted West Virginia State Income Tax Return for the current tax year or previous, you need to complete Form IT-140. Form IT-140 is the Form used for the Tax Amendment. You can prepare a current tax year or previous tax year West Virginia Tax Amendment Form on eFile.com, however you cannot submit it electronically. For a federal amendment, 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 West Virginia Tax Agency, thus you should file a West Virginia Amendment within one year.
Prepare only a WV State Return without an IRS return.
