I filled taxes the other day. Today I clicked add state and ended up editing my tax return

I had more information to add so I added it. Now I have a different amount to the refund. But when I go to home its back to the refund before. Nobody has received it yet until February 12

Did you make changes to your tax return after you submitted your tax return or did you make changes before you filed and submitted it?

You cant make changes to your return after you file. If you need to, you must do an amended return. 

 

To amend your return, wait to see if your return has been accepted or rejected by the IRS or state. If rejected, you can correct and re-send your return. If accepted you should wait until your return has been processed and you receive your refund or confirmation that any tax due has been paid. If you file an amended return while your first return is being processed it can cause extended delays for both returns if two returns are in the system at the same time. In addition, if the IRS makes any change on your original return, you might end up having to amend the amendment. Amended returns can only be mailed - allow 8-12 weeks - can take up to 16 weeks (4 months) for processing. This
