I am trying to amend my taxes the covid-19 relief was entered wrong, when can I update my filing or do I have to do a new filing?

Please wait until your original return has processed before filing an amended tax return (1040X) to avoid any issues.

Please be aware that you can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail. Please see FAQ How to amend a tax return for instructions.

Please see Where's My Amended Return? to check the status of your amended return.

Thanks for the assistance, I was second guessing to whether or not do something before it was processed given  that is taking a long time for them to complete the processing.

Kind regards

by processed do you mean accepted or something else?

[DawnC]

Not accepted.   That means the IRS has it but does not mean it has been processed.   By processed, we mean all the way processed, your tax return transcript is finalized with the IRS, and your refund has been received.

thank you for the responses, based on the comments and looking at the IRS website, there is a code 152 that when i looked is that the IRS is looking at the information and around 21 days I'll get my refund. Given COVID-19, I believe the delay may be longer than the 21 days, thanks

Kind regards,
Carlos
