How to Request Relief

To request relief: 

1. Complete an amended return for each tax year that you’re requesting relief and include:

  • Information missing when you filed your original return. 
  • Your written statement for reasonable cause, explaining your failure to comply on time.

2. File the amended return as you filed the original return:

  • If you mailed the original return, send the amended return to the IRS Service Center where you originally filed. 
  • If you e-filed the original return, you must e-file the amended return. If you can't e-file because we don't accept the tax year for your return, mail the amended return. The mailing addresses for amended returns are in instructions for Form 1040-X and Form 1120. Don't include the original tax return.

3. Send a copy of the amended return based on your situation:

  • If you're not under examination, eFax a copy of the amended return to the Director of Field Operations, Large Business & International or the Area Director, Field Examination, Small Business/Self-Employed at 855-582-4842.
  • If you're under examination for any tax year, give a copy of the amended return to the IRS employee doing the audit.
