If the corrected amounts on IRS 1120X Form must be supported with a schedule, statement, or a form, the corporation must attach these documents as required. The corporation's name and employer identification number (EIN) must be included in every attachment. In addition, Form 8302, Electronic Deposit of Tax Refund of $1 Million or More, must be attached if the corporation is requesting an electronic refund of over a $1 million.
