I already got my refund and still can't amend my tax return! I'm freaking out! What do I do with the money? How can I fix the mistakes I made for this filing?

Ok ... first take a deep breath and don't spend the money yet... the 1040X has simply been delayed due to the gov shutdown ... expected to be operational by 3/1 and you have until 4/15 to send any excess refund back without consequences so relax.
