How to Correct Mistakes on Income Tax Returns
Did you know you can fix mistakes on your submitted Income Tax Return? SARS offers a “Request Correction” function on eFiling, allowing taxpayers to revise and resubmit their return if they made an error during the initial submission.
However, you cannot request a correction in certain cases, including when:
The return is in an issued or saved state.
There’s an ongoing verification or audit.
SARS has already performed an agreed estimate or finalized an audit.
Supporting documents have been submitted for an active verification.
Once you submit a correction, your eFiling status will update to “Correction Filed,” confirming the changes.
For a smoother tax process, make sure to review your return carefully before submitting.
