If the error is in Line 30, you don't have to refile.

The IRS is double checking all returns related to the Rebate Credit line 30.

Did you actually e-File or send in an amended return with errors?

If so, you have to amend the amendment and file 1040-X again with those incorrect amounts in Column A and the correct amounts in Column C.

 

In Explanation, clearly state "This is amendment No. 2 correcting errors in amendment No. 1."
