Do I need a tax lawyer if I received a CP2021 letter for my state tax return, and will I need to fill out a 1040X for my federal as I used TaxAct during 2021?
Whether you need a tax attorney or not depends on the content of the CP2021 letter. Most of the time, the reason for the letter is for failure to report an income form on your return (W-2, 1099, etc.) or something similar, usually not something severe enough to pay an attorney. If you filed the return yourself online, you may want to contact a CPA firm or other tax prep firm that has Enrolled Agents (EAs) who are qualified and certified to practice and represent clients before the IRS in the event the letter ends up being severe enough that you’ll be audited by the IRS. However, most tax professionals in these types of firms will have seen these types of letters before, will be able to understand them and know what you need to do to respond. Depending on the company, they may or may not charge you for this advice, so I would call ahead to be sure.Generally, with a CP2021 letter the IRS generally does not want you to file a 1040X form to amend your return for that year.Here’s a link to help you with understanding the letter you received:Understanding Your CP2021 Notice
I messed up when I e-filed my tax return. Should I wait for a rejection or start filling out the 1040X?
Wait for your tax return being processed then file an amended return. Amended returns take a few months to be processed. You may also get a letter from the IRS explaining you how to fix the issue. It all depends what you need to correct. The IRS doesn’t like amended returns .. lots of times they will ask for additional documents .. forms ‡ payments ..Good Luck
Do I need to fill 1040-NR-EZ again along with 1040X to amend filing the status from single to married?
Yes. According to the Form 1040X instructions section “Resident and nonresident aliens”, to amend a Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ, you will need to complete a corrected Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ, and attach it to a Form 1040X.Note that you can only file as married if you were married as of December 31 of the tax year you are amending.
I prepaid some amount of money before submitted formal tax return, in case IRS will charge me tax penalty if withhold is less. But I forgot to put this amount in my 1040. How can I reclaim this amount? Should I fill 1040X?
You should be able to obtain a refund without submitting an amended return. It is possible that they will send you the overpayed amount automatically.Otherwise, try calling the IRS and explaining the situation.Another thing that may be helpful is to get an account at the IRS website to see a record of all your payments, and current balances.
