Hudson, NH Resident Discovers His Mistake
If you discover a mistake in the calculations on your tax return after filing, the IRS will often catch this mistake and make the necessary adjustments to the calculations. There is no need to file an amendment for mathematical errors in your tax return. You will want to make the changes on your end to determine how this will affect your final tax numbers. This can mean that your refund will be larger than expected, smaller, or it could mean that you will end up owing the IRS money. If there is a significant change, particularly in what you owe on your taxes, you will receive a notice in the mail from the IRS indicating the difference.
