If you know you qualify for more deductions with the new unemployment tax break, would it be best to file an amendment after the IRS sends the additional refund?

[Mike9241]

yes. but only if your tax liability changes. 

[Critter-3]

YES ... that is exactly what the IRS says to do ... but WAIT for the corrected refund first.  Then you can amend the return that will probably take 6 months or much more to process ... don't expect anything quickly.  

Before you start make sure to save a PDF & .taxfile  of the original return  for safekeeping ... only then click on the amendment process.
