How long does the IRS take to process an amended return?+
Currently 16-20 weeks. Amended returns can't be e-filed for years before 2019 — they must be paper-filed. Tax year 2019+ amendments can be e-filed, which is somewhat faster. You can track status at IRS.gov "Where's My Amended Return?" three weeks after mailing.
What's the deadline to amend a tax return?+
3 years from the original filing date (or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later). For 2021 returns filed April 15, 2022, you have until April 15, 2025 to amend. After that, no refund — but you can still amend to correct errors that would affect your IRS standing.
Will amending my federal return trigger an audit?+
No — amendments don't trigger audits in most cases. The IRS reviews amendments separately from initial filings. Amendments claiming larger refunds get extra scrutiny, but factual amendments (missed W-2, late-arriving 1099) are routine.
How far is your office from Delaware?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 22 miles from Delaware — typically a 32-minute drive. We're on the north side of Columbus between Cleveland Ave and I-71 with free parking. Walk in any day Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm, or Sunday 10am–4pm.
Do Delaware residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the Delaware City Schools boundary, you may owe Ohio school district income tax on top of federal and Ohio IT-1040 state tax. The SD-100 return is filed alongside your Ohio return. We handle all three (federal, state, school district) as part of standard tax preparation.
