When do I have to amend my return? 

You have already filed your return, but you realize you made a mistake, what do you do now?

To resolve it, you can submit an amended form to make the correction. However, it is not necessary to amend a return in all cases. It all depends on the types of mistakes you made. Here are instructions on when and how to file an amended return: 

When should you amend the return?

• You omitted income
• You did not claim any deduction, exemption, or credit to which you are entitled
• You are not entitled to any deduction, exemption, or credit claimed in the original return

When should you not amend the return?

You should not amend your return if any of the following are incorrect:

• Name or surname
• Social Security number
• Direct Deposit Number
• Date of birth
• Address

To update the address, you must complete the Model Form SC2898. You can access the form on the Department of the Treasury page.

For all other cases, you must contact the Department of the Treasury at (787) 622-0123 so that they can indicate the process to follow.

There is no deadline to amend the return.

Where is an amended return filed?

It can be filed electronically using any program or application certified by the Department of the Treasury such as Taxmania. Even if you have filed your return with another provider, you can amend your return with Taxmania.

To amend your return, you must go to your Taxmania profile and choose the return you wish to amend from the list. Then, press the "Amend" button on the filed return and follow the instructions.

Does it have a cost to amend the return?

Amending the return is free if you paid for filing via Taxmania.

How are returns for previous taxable years amended?

If they are returns for taxable years 2018 and previous years, file:

• Personally: In the Department of the Treasury, Intendente Alejandro Ramírez Building in Old San Juan or in an Internal Revenue Collection Office.

• By mail:

Department of Finance

PO Box 50072

San Juan PR 00902-6272

How do I check the status of my amended return?

For taxable years 2019 and subsequent years, you can verify the status by accessing your account in SURI.

For previous taxable years, you can contact the Adjustments and Returns Administration Section through 787-721-2020, extensions 2268 and/or 2269 or visit Office 208.

Having to file an amended return can be easily avoided. Always verify that all the information on the form is correct and without errors. You can read more about common mistakes in our blog "5 common mistakes to avoid when filling out your PR Form".
