Can I amend my 2016 tax return in 2020?
You can amend a return at any time, but you can generally only claim a refund for up to 3 years from the date the return was due or 2 years from the date the tax was paid. The IRS has issued guidance that they will accept claims for refunds from 2016 tax returns through July 15, 2020.
What happens if you forgot to add something on your taxes?
Simply put, an amended return is usually filed because something was incomplete, incorrect or omitted from the original tax return. It should be filed if you forgot to claim credits and deductions, or need to correct filing status and income – whether the result is a tax refund or a tax bill.

Does filing an amended return trigger an audit?

When does the CRA stop reassessing 2016 tax returns?
