I put an amount on line 30 for the stimulus check and I should have left it blank. Do I need to file an amendment?

If your return has been accepted you will have to wait and see if your refund includes the additional credit. The IRS might adjust the amount automatically. Please see IRS Recovery Rebate Credit Q D2 What happens if I claim the incorrect amount? for additional information. If not then you will need to amend your return (1040X) and send the funds back to the IRS. Please see  FAQ How to amend a tax return for instructions.

Thank you for your response @DanaB27 !Do you know how long it will take to process? It’s been over a month since it was accepted on feb 12? Thank you

Due to the tsunami of returns that hit the IRS on 2/12, the correction/review of the advance stimulus credits and now the issuance of the third stimulus check the IRS is running behind the norm ... wait until you get the original refund before doing anything.
