No.  You cannot change anything on a return you just e-filed unless it is rejected.  If the IRS rejects it you can make changes and re-file.   If it is accepted then you just need to wait it out.  The IRS looks for mistakes with the CTC so they will probably catch the mistake and fix it.   This will delay your refund.  Do not try to amend.

If the return has been filed and accepted by IRS you will have to wait till IRS processes the return.

IRS has the information about the amount of Advance Child Tax Credit paid to you and they will make necessary adjustments to your refund.

Do not file an amended tax return The refund may be delayed.

 

If the return is rejected for any reason you will be able to correct the Advance CTC information.
