Yes, you will need to file an amendment after your first filing is accepted since the IRS will also be receiving that corrected form.
You will need to wait for your return to
be accepted or rejected. If rejected, simply correct and re-submit. However, if
your return is accepted, you will need to submit an amendment Form
1040X.

instructions can be found here when the form is updated: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894381-how-to-amend-change-or-correct-a-return-you-already-filed
Note:
- Before
starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received
or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
- You're
free to cash your refund check or spend it once you have it. You don't
need to wait for your amendment to finish processing, which can take
another 3-4 months.
- If you
owe money after amending, you'll just include payment with your mailed
amendment form.
- And if
your amendment results in a second refund, you'll get a check for the
additional amount.
- An amended
return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot
be e-filed.
- The IRS
will take 12 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
- 3
weeks after you mailed your amendment, you can start tracking its progress
at the IRS Where's My
Amended Return? site.
