I used the wrong middle initial on my daughter's tax forms. Do I need to file an amended return?

No, there is no need to amend. The IRS matches the Social Security number to the first four letters of the last name.

No, not for a middle initial. The IRS matches the last 4 digits of the ssn and the first 4 letters of the last name so this shouldn't be an issue.
