    NC amended return

    I have to amend a NC tax return because the 400TC was wrong.

    When I amend the return, there isn't an "AMENDED RETURN" generated; only the new, correct tax return. It does generate a form similar to the 1040X pg 2 asking for the reason. I don't see any place where the changes are spelled out... before... after... figures.

    I know VA returns do not show that, either, so I'm wondering if I am ok sending this in like it is, or if I'm missing something.

    I screwed up the initial return and I can't screw this amendment up, too.

    Help!

    Preparation of amended NC D-400

    The NC Form D-400 has several places to indicate an amended return. There is a box to check on the upper right corner, and entries on lines 22 and 24 may be relevant.

    Your tax software should also have NC Form D-400 Schedule AM where you list the reasons for and explanations of the change. It is filed along with the D-400 (and any other required forms).

    Otherwise, the amended return will resemble a "normal" Form D-400.

    Doesn't your tax software have a Q&A sequence to take you through the process? ?

      I do have the D-400 Schedule AM.
      TW does not have a Q&A.
      Thanks for your response. I will send it in as it is, the D-400 with the schedule AM attached.

        On a VA amended return, note that a copy of the 1040X is required to be mailed in with it. So they see the reason for amending. If no federal amendment is required, and it is just a state issue, I always attach a letter or statement explaining the adjustment.

          Thanks for that input. I'll do it.

            I think an amended NC return can be efiled (I know an amended VA can). If that's the case, handle the Form 1040X as a PDF attachment to the efiled Form NC D-400 and simplify things for yourself.
