Filing a Revised return

Filing a Revised return

Made a mistake on your tax return? It happens! Don’t worry—filing a revised return is easier than you think. Here’s how to fix some of the common mistakes, like missing income, deductions, or tax credits.


Two ways to revise your tax return

  1. E-Filed Tax Return:
    Haven’t e-verified your tax return yet? Simply discard it and file a new one.

  2. E-Verified Tax Return:
    Already e-verified? No problem. Just submit a fresh tax return with details of the original filing.


Things to keep in mind

  • Discarding is Permanent:
    Once you discard a return, it can’t be undone. So make sure you’re ready to move forward!

  • Late Filing Fees may apply:
    If you discard your original return, you might need to pay a late fee when filing a new one.

  • Deadline Alert:
    You have until December 31st of the same assessment year to file a revised return.
