You don't need to amend for that.   Do you have the wrong amount on line 28?  The IRS knows they already sent it to you.  They will adjust your return and reduce your refund or send you a bill.

You should wait for the IRS to finish processing your return first before making an amendment.

The IRS will adjust your refund based on its record. In that case, you don't need to amend your tax return. 

If it becomes necessary to amend your return, TurboTax will help you to amend it.
