Note: You will most likely still receive the original refund that you claimed.
You should wait until your original tax return is processed by the IRS before filing an amended return. If you are receiving a refund, you should wait until the check is issued or you receive your direct deposit.
Please note that 1040-X cannot be e-filed - you will need to mail a paper return. It takes the IRS at least 2 - 3 months (and sometime up to 6 months) to process amended returns. Also, depending on whether the changes affect your numbers, you may also be required to file an amended return with your state.
