Prepare An Illinois State Tax Amendment
If you need to change or amend an electronically or eFiled and accepted Illinois State Income Tax Return for the current tax you can do this online now. For previous Tax Year you need to complete Form IL-1040-X for the appropriate Tax Year. Form IL-1040-X is a Form used for the Tax Amendment. You can prepare a 2022 Illinois 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).
The IRS might have send you a notification to change your Federal Tax Return, or you might have discovered an error on a Return. If you or the IRS amended or changed one of your IRS Tax Return(s), the IRS will report this to the Illinois Tax Agency, thus you should file an Illinois Tax Amendment within one year.
