Filed Statutory Employee by mistake

It won't matter unless you filed a schedule C. 

If you did file a schedule C and claimed expenses, yes you will need to file an amended return but you need to wait until the original return has been processed. 

You have 3 years from the date you filed your return (or 2 years after you paid the tax due, whichever is later) to file an amended return.

I just did the exact same thing. I’m a car salesman and get paid commission I get a W2. I accidentally clicked I was a statutory employee as well. My refund went from 7k to like 13k.   Within 45 min the irs already accepted my return.  Will they fix this ? Do I have to file an amended return ? Will my direct deposit go through? After I filed I clicked to view my return. It said it had my w-2 and some 8995 form. That’s it. 

So I’ve been checking the where’s my refund daily to see what they do.  As always I put my last 4 in. Single and the inflated return number. Every day it has shown that it was accepted but was not approved yet.  

I went to check it today and now when I put my info in it says I’m putting the wrong info in which I’m not. 

does this mean the irs fixed it and I’ll get my actual true return in 21 days and they will send me a letter explaining ? 

So I made $135,615 for the year. I file single and withhold at the highest rate so they always take the most out of my paychecks so I get a return. My return was around $7,770 before it asked me how I was paid and said I qualified for statutory employee ( which I don’t ). By the end my refund had jumped to almost $14,000. I did not file or produce a schedule c form. It did generate automatically a 8995 Form or whatever the number is.   30 min after I did my taxes I realized this. I tried to call and the IRS had already accepted it.  My last name starts with B.  I filed on the 24th of Jan. Everyday I’ve checked where’s my refund I was able to put the $13,700 number in and it just showed it had been accepted. 

I tried at 3 am this morning using same info as always and now it’s been saying all day my info is wrong. I called the IRS number and put the info in and it says my return is processing.  I just want to get my refund in 21 days like normal.  If they fix it and give me the right amount that’s great. If they give me the inflated amount. I’ll take 7-8,000 of that put it aside and contact them.  

I was told I shouldn’t have to file an amended return sense I didn’t produce a scheduled c form.  Not sure what’s going on but just wanna know. Thank you for all your input 

Update. 

I have not filed an amended return.  Today was my 21 day point. Have not received my refund. It was never even approved.  But now when I go to check the website it says “ we are sorry but your refund has been delayed past the normal time “.  

does this mean they are fixing it and sending me correct return.  Does this mean I need to file an amended return. 

No clue what’s going on or what to do. Any and all info would be helpful 

So does that mean I’ll get the full 14k? Or is there a chance it just says that on where’s my refund and the actual amount deposited will be a different amount ? 

my refund said delayed for about a week. Then 3 days ago it said it was approved and would be deposited into my bank on the 24th. So I know they reviewed it and looked at it. 

someone told me though it may say I’m getting that full amount but they may deposit a different amount. But I would think if that was the case , where’s my refund would say something. No ?
