This article explains amended tax returns so you know what to expect in your Institution workspace.

What this article covers

  • Where this appears in your tax workspace.
  • What the information tells you about the current state of your account.
  • Who to contact when something does not match your expectation.

How it works

Institution keeps one record for your company, and the workspace reflects that record. When something changes, the record is updated first and the tax team works from the same information you see, so documents delivered to you stay consistent with what is on file.

Where to look

  2. 2Open Tax.
  3. 3Select the open tax request for the relevant period.
  4. 4Upload the requested documents or answer the open questions and submit.
Tax context
