Form 1040 income tax returns can be amended by filing IRS Form 1040-X. Amended tax returns are filed to correct mistakes made on an original return, and they can be filed for certain carryback claims.

In this example, we look at a married filing joint (MFJ) tax return where the taxpayers forgot to include one of their 3 children as qualifying children for the child tax credit on IRS Form 8812. The taxpayers filed an amended return to update Form 8812 and claim $6,000 of CTC rather than the original $4,000 of credits.
