How to Correct a Tax Return if You Made a Mistake

Apr 30, 2025

Filing taxes as a photographer can feel overwhelming, and mistakes happen more often than you’d think. Maybe you forgot to report some income, missed a deduction, or accidentally entered the wrong numbers. The good news? It’s fixable!

In my latest YouTube video, I walk you through how to fix a tax return mistake step by step—so you can correct errors the right way and avoid unnecessary stress. The IRS even has a process for this (because they know mistakes happen), and I’ll break down exactly when you need to amend a return and when you don’t.

Here’s what you’ll learn in the video:
✅ When you actually need to correct a tax return
✅ How to use IRS Form 1040-X to fix mistakes
✅ What to expect after filing an amended return
✅ Simple tips to avoid tax errors in the future
