In yesterday’s post regarding the update on reconnect, one of the frequently asked questions addressed what taxpayers (or practitioners) should do if they have already filed a 2010 return with an addback. Our answer to that question has been modified
from yesterday’s post as follows:
Question: I filed a return and added back some items that we are now connected to (for example, the tuition and fees deduction). Will the department make the adjustment or should I amend?
Updated Answer: If you filed the return before March 8, 2011 with an addback for either the tuition and fees or educator expenses deduction, the department will make the necessary corrections to the return for you. For all other addbacks, you will
need to file an amended return removing the addition.
