- Select your marital status from your 1040: Indicate the marital status you selected on your 1040/1040-NR form.
- Enter your Adjusted Gross Income: This information is found on Line 11 of your 1040/1040-NR form.
- Enter your Tax: This is the amount listed on Line 16 of your 1040/1040-NR form.

- Total amount paid with extension request, original return, and additional tax paid after filing: Enter the total amount you owed on the original Federal tax return (only if you have already paid it).

Important Notes:
Info: If you have not yet received your refund, wait until it is issued before filing the amendment. There is no deadline for filing an amendment, but it is essential not to submit it before receiving your refund.
Info: If any of the other fields are not applicable to your situation, enter "0" in those boxes.
