Amending US Tax Return/8891

Post by liis_todd »

Hello
My US Tax Return needs to be amended. Form 8891 "US Information Return for Beneficiaries of Certain Canadian Registered Retirement Plans" was filed incorrectly .Which box on form 1040X "Amended US Individual Income Tax Return"
applies to this sort of amendment? Does this sort of amendment need to be submitted by latest today the 15th?

Thanks all
Carson

There is no box, since you're not changing any figures on the 1040. Just explain that you are attaching a corrected 8891(s).

The ammendment can be sent anytime until October to be considered timely.
