If you made a mistake on your 2015 return, you can file an amended return, called a 1040X, to correct your mistake.  A 1040X must be printed and mailed.  It cannot be e-filed.  It will take the IRS 2-4 months to process your amended return.

Wait about 3 weeks and you can check the status of your amended return:
