Wait for the IRS to issue your tax refund before even considering amending the tax. When it is received you may very well have a larger refund then what was filed since the IRS already knows you paid estimated taxes.

Thank you. I actually received my refund yesterday and the difference between what was listed on the return and was deposited into my account was the exact amount of the quarterly tax payments I made. So I do not need to submit an amended return at this point?
