Filing an Amended Return:

Students or parents who file an amended return may not be able use the IRS Data Retrieval process. Instead, they must submit a signed copy of the tax return or tax return transcript, but because that document only contains the information on the original return, they must also submit a signed copy of the amended tax return and tax account transcript, which contains only the data that was altered. Both documents together can then be used to complete verification. If the tax filer chooses to order them on paper, she must use IRS Form 4506-T rather than Form 4506T-EZ.
