Know which amended return leads are worth consultation time

The exact intake your amended tax return leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Amended Tax Return — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified amended tax return lead should tell you
Assistance correcting a previously filed individual tax return where the original filing had missing income, missed deductions, a filing status or dependent error, a data entry mistake, or was flagged by a tax authority notice.
- Already Filed Original Tax
- Main Reason Amend Return
- Tax Year Be Amended
- Received Any Notice Or
- Prepared Original Tax Return
- Have Copy Originally Filed
The questions your team needs answered
Every amended tax return intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Have you already filed the original tax return you want to amend? | Confirms the return is actually amendable now rather than still pending original filing, which is the highest-weighted signal in this intake. |
| What is the main reason you need to amend the return? | The stated reason routes the lead differently—a notice or missing income signals more complexity than a simple math error. |
| Which tax year needs to be amended? | Captures the detail in the client’s own words so you’re briefed before the first call. |
| Have you received any notice or deadline from a tax authority about this return? | A notice from a tax authority often carries a response deadline, so this answer flags leads your team may need to act on faster. |
| Who prepared the original tax return? | Knowing whether the client, software, or another professional prepared the original return helps your team gauge how much review or rework will be needed. |
| Do you have a copy of the originally filed tax return available? | Having a copy of the original filing on hand means your team can start work immediately instead of chasing down documents first. |

| Conditional document requests | Prompts clients to upload their originally filed return based on their answer to whether they have a copy available. |
| Single-choice branching | Uses the reason-for-amending answer to separate notice-driven corrections from missed deductions, income errors, or simple math mistakes. |

Common amended tax return lead scenarios
Client received an IRS notice
The client got a notice about the original filing and needs the error fixed on a deadline. The intake flags the notice answer and reason for amending so your team can prioritize the file.
Original return hasn't been filed yet
A prospective client wants to talk about amending a return they haven't actually filed. The lowest-weighted answer on the first question signals this lead needs a different conversation before a consultation.
Self-prepared return, missed deduction
The client did their own taxes and later found a missed credit or deduction. They can supply a copy of the original filing, so the intake shows a straightforward, document-ready lead.
No copy of the original return
The client isn't sure who prepared the return and doesn't have a copy on hand. This combination lowers the readiness score and tells your team to budget time for document recovery before scheduling.

Amended Tax Return lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake check whether the original return was actually filed?
Yes, this is the first and most heavily weighted question in the catalog. Answering no scores the lead lower since there's no return yet to amend.
How does the intake handle a client who mentions an IRS or state notice?
The notice question carries a high weight, so a yes answer raises the lead's score and gives your team visibility into a possible deadline before they call the client back.
Can the intake tell me why the client needs to amend their return?
It captures the reason from a fixed set of options, including missing income, missed deductions, filing status errors, math errors, or a notice, so your team knows the type of correction before the consultation.
What if the client doesn't have a copy of their original return?
The intake asks directly, and a no answer scores lower than a yes. It's a signal that your team may need to pull a transcript or request the return before work can start.
Does it matter who prepared the original return?
The intake records whether the client, tax software, another professional, or no one they can identify prepared the original filing, which helps your team gauge how much review will be needed.
Is the tax year captured automatically?
The client enters the tax year being amended as free text, so it appears on the lead record alongside the reason and notice status without your team having to ask again.
