For many taxpayers, the end of the year is a time to complete their tax return. One form that may be required is Form B26, which is used to report errors discovered on the filed return. This form should only be completed if you have already filed your tax return and discovered a mistake. The IRS recommends that you file FormB26 within 45 days of the original filing date. In most cases, the amended return will result in a refund or reduced balance due.
