Submit an amended return to Arkansas by following these steps:

1. You need to start with a copy of your originally-filed return. If you don’t have a copy of the originally-filed return, change the amount on line 9 of Arkansas Form AR-OI from a positive to a negative amount, print a copy of the return, and then change the amount on line 9 back to a positive number.

   Note. If you use the desktop program, print the original return and then run a program update.

   5. After changing the amount to a negative number, print the return and then repeat the steps to make the number positive again (as it should be).
