Filing Amended Returns Electronically
About 3 million Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, are filed annually. The IRS announced that Form 1040-X can now be filed electronically using commercial tax-filing software (IR-2020-182, 8/17/20). This filing option should simplify the process of amending returns and speed up IRS responses (e.g., refunds claimed on amended returns).
Initially, only 2019 amended returns for Form 1040 or 1040-SR can be e-filed. But the IRS is planning to improve the system, so stay tuned.

Itemized deductions
Items, such as interest, state and local income and sales taxes, charitable contributions, and medical deductions, claimed on Schedule A of Form 1040. Itemized deductions are subtracted from adjusted gross income to arrive at taxable income. The amount of itemized deductions is also subject to a reduction when adjusted gross income exceeds certain limits.
