Amended returns (filings)

1. Contact your accountant so they can help submit the amendment—if you don't have one, find your perfect match in our Partner Directory.
2.  Click the Taxes & compliance section and select Documents.
3.  Download the filing Gusto submitted.
   • Use this as a reference point—you may need to modify certain details for the amendment.
   • You can also run a variety of reports in Gusto that may help complete the amendment.
4. Contact the state agency and ask how to file the amended return.
   • Make sure to detail why you're amending return(s) and get personalized guidance.
5. File the amended return with the applicable agency.
   • Important: if penalties and/or interest are assessed as a result of the amendment (adjusted information), the employer is responsible for paying them. 

Contact our team with additional detail about the reason for the requested amendment(s). We'll let you know if Gusto can help–if not, amend the returns outside of Gusto following the steps above. 

If Gusto needs to amend a return, our team will set expectations with you about when you can expect it to be complete and available in your Gusto account. For specific questions about your amended return, work with the support team member who assisted.
