If I file an amended return will I be able to do the entire return over? Will I get the chance to fix multiple erros?

Yes you will be able to fix all the errors that you need to, but you should only amend your return if your returns have been accepted. If they have, then you should amend your return. If they have been rejected, please do not amend your return. You are able to log back into your account and fix the errors that way, and then re-file your returns.

You should not try to amend your return until the original return it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.
Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they are processed as two separate returns.
Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail. It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them. If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it. If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.
