Regulations giving specific details and dates will follow in the near future, the IRS said The change means that taxpay ers who suffered losses in sections of the country declared disaster areas by the President in the first six months of 1972 may file amend ed returns for 1971 For many tax payers that would mean a quick tax refund, the IRS said. Form 1040x is used by individuals and Form 1120 X by corporations to file amended returns In many of those areas hit by floods, the IRS is providing ser vice seven days a week to assist taxpayers in ascertaining the amount of damage and preparing their amended tax returns.
