Wait to see if your return gets rejected or accepted. If it gets rejected, you will be able to make the correction.
Until your return moves into accepted status,
you won't be able to amend. In fact, you won't be able to do anything with your
return.
- Once
your return is accepted,
you can amend.
- If
you're amending to claim more money, the IRS says to wait until you've received
your original refund before filing an amendment.
- Once
you've received your original refund, feel free to cash or spend it while your
amendment gets processed (this can take 12–16 weeks).

to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed.

weeks after you mailed your amendment, you can start tracking its progress at the
IRS Where's My Amended Return? site.
