taxmap/instr/i1040gi-029.htm#TXMP519346feFile Form 1040X to change a return you already filed. Generally,
Form 1040X must be filed within 3 years after the date the original return was
filed or within 2 years after the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. But
you may have more time to file Form 1040X if you live in a federally declared
disaster area or you are physically or mentally unable to manage your financial
affairs. See Pub. 556 for details.
