Uh-oh! I filled out my 8812 based on info from the IRS site and then filed my returns. I got the 8812s in the mail today and the numbers are slightly off. Should I amend?

On the filed return, I put 2,275 on my name, but it's actually 1,062,50 on each for my wife and I. So, not only is it actually split, but the total is slightly off...

 If the IRS rejects your e-file you can fix the mistake and re-file.   If the e-file is accepted you have to wait until the IRS fully processes the return.   They will look for discrepancies and mistakes with the child tax credit and fix them.   But it will mean a long delay in processing your return.

The amended forms in TurboTax will not be available until late February. You can check IRS forms availability table for TurboTax individual (personal) tax products. Look for Form 1040X.

@xmasbaby0 makes excellent points as always. The IRS may reject your return or fix it.

Once the amend process becomes active you can go back into TurboTax and start the amend process to see whether the numbers will change your tax. You can then decided what you want to do.
