    Call the IRS and find out if they will still allow you to Amend your 2004, form 1040.

    Usually the clock expires after three years.

    1. You can not amend a joint return to a married filing separte return.

    2. If by amending your tax return you have a refund, you will not get it now. You must file amended return for 2004 by April 15, 2008 to get refund.

    Agreed; unless you have unusual circumstances (you were ill or deployed in the military or physically unable to amend the return), it is TOO LATE to amend the return and get a refund.
