If you already filed your return you will need
to wait to see if it was rejected or accepted. If they were rejected you are
able to login to your return to fix what you need to fix and fix the errors
that caused the rejection and refile the return. If your returns were accepted,
then you will need to file an amended return. 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. You can check the status of your amended return

An amended federal tax return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 4 months or longer to process the amended tax return. If taxes are owed after completing the amended return, you send a check with the amended return when it is mailed. If the amended return has a tax refund, then the IRS will send you a refund check in the mail for the refund, the refund cannot be direct deposited.
The tax return should not be amended until the tax refund has been received from the IRS.
