Does every mistake require an amended return?+
No. Some issues may be corrected during agency processing or handled through another response. The review considers the type of change, the status of the original filing, and the affected return before recommending an amendment.
Can Allegiant amend a return prepared somewhere else?+
Potentially, yes. Service availability, scope, and price are confirmed after the complete filed return, supporting documents, and any agency adjustments are reviewed.
Will a federal amendment affect my state or city return?+
It may. A federal change can affect state taxable income, credits, payments, or local filings. Allegiant reviews the jurisdictions connected to the original return before confirming the amendment scope.
What should I provide for the review?+
Begin with the complete filed federal, state, and applicable city returns for the year, plus the new or corrected documents, any agency notices or adjustments, and a short explanation of what changed.
How long does an amended return take to process?+
Processing is controlled by the IRS, state, or city agency and can change. Allegiant can confirm filing acceptance when applicable but cannot promise an agency processing date or refund date.
Does amendment preparation include representation?+
No. Review and preparation do not automatically include responding to later notices or representing the taxpayer before an agency. Any additional service is offered only when available and confirmed in a separate written scope.
Can you guarantee that an amendment will create a refund?+
No. An amendment may increase a refund, reduce a refund, create additional tax, or leave the overall result unchanged. The outcome depends on the facts, records, tax rules, agency adjustments, and affected jurisdictions.
