Made tiny mistake on tax return, worth amending?

So I did my taxes on my own this year for the first time. After filing everything and the forms being accepted, I noticed that I put the wrong street postal abbreviation (Example: I live at 123 Main St, but hastily put 123 Main Rd instead). However, luckily, there's no other neighborhood with my street name. Is it worth calling the IRS to fix this minor change when my return as been processed? I'm not getting a refund this year, as I owe, so that's why I'm wondering if it's even worth changing.

You can leave this without amending for the current year. 

 

Be sure when you file next year, you change the address as you begin the return.

This should not be an issue.  The IRS matches the last four digits of your social security number to the first four letters of you last name.  This will no cause a problem.
