years beginning January 1, 2005 or after, you must file Form PIT‐X for the applicable tax year. For
tax years beginning before January 1, 2005, you must file amended returns using the forms for the
appropriate tax year. If no amended box is present on the form, you must write AMENDED at the
top of the form.
When filing an amended return, you must attach schedules PIT‐S, PIT‐ADJ, PIT‐RC, PIT‐B, PIT‐CR,
and PIT‐D as required, even if the amounts did not change from the originally filed return. Unless
you are amending your New Mexico return to change the amount of withholding reported, you do
not need to file forms W‐2 and similar information forms.
Approved Software
TRD approves companies that follow specifications and format requirements for electronic
transmission or reproduction of a paper 2013 New Mexico income tax form. Acceptance of the
s

company’s services.
New Mexico annually publishes a list of approved substitute form vendors and Fed/State software
companies. Approvals must be performed annually for each new tax year. TRD publishes the list of
approved software companies at the beginning of the filing season. The list indicates whether the

printing the PIT‐1 return, and printing the PDF214 2D barcode on PIT‐1, page 2.
For an explanation of the benefits of using the PDF214 2D barcode on the PIT‐1, see Using Barcodes
on page 13. To view the list of approved vendors and software companies, visit the TRD website at
