Will there be consequences for filing an amended return? Will I be audited by the state or IRS?

Absolutely not! Amended returns are simply used to make corrections to an incorrectly filed return- if it was omission of income or to claim credits or anything else. It will not raise any "red flags" and you want to make the corrections or claim additional refunds that you are entitled to.
