Hi Karen,
I have followed the instructions and mailed the amended and correct documents at last week. But I just received the refund that I submitted on March 1st, that one is wrong because I applied as citizen. How can I fix it?
You will need to return the refund to the IRS. I would take a picture of the check before returning it to the IRS and you may want to send it by private delivery services to make sure that it is received by the IRS.
