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 Orient?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 18 miles from Orient — typically a 28-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 Orient residents owe local city income tax?+
Most Ohio municipalities in Pickaway County levy a 1-2% local income tax on residents and on income earned within city limits. We calculate your local tax liability and file the local return alongside your federal and state returns when applicable.
