After I filed my 1040 I noticed that Part II Ordinary dividends duplicated $3,461.95. I don't know how this happened but it seems to be an error that cost me

line 9a has $$3461.95 extra dividends I need help to amend this return

This can happen if you did an import from your broker and then manually entered them yourself.  That may be what happened.  Has the return been processed by IRS?  gotten refund?

[takeasprin]

its been filed but I haven't gotten a refund thanks your answer sound logical. Will the IRS just correct it?

[MichaelL1]

No, you will need to an amended return.  I'll post in the answer on how to do this.

Do not file the amended return until the original return has been processed (as it could delay everything otherwise).

If you have a refund coming, when you get the refund you will know IRS has processed it.
