No do not amend. You just have to wait for the IRS to fix your mistake. By answering incorrectly about the stimulus amount you received you put an amount on line 30 of your Form 1040. The IRS checks that line. They know how much they sent to you. They will reduce your refund by that amount. This will delay your refund so expect a wait.
No. do not amend. there is a 99.9999999999999% chance the iRS will catch the error and adjust automatically.
The IRS may correct your Federal 1040 tax return but, because we know that there is an error on the tax return, we do not know how long the processing time will take.
If your return has been transmitted and rejected by the IRS, you can correct your tax return and re-transmit.
If your return has been transmitted and accepted by the IRS, you should not attempt to amend until the IRS has processed your tax return.
