If you make an error on the tax return, and you file, wait until the IRS has processed it.
There is a good chance the IRS will correct it, if the error was entering a tax form (that the IRS gets a copy of) incorrectly.
Try not to amend a tax return until the original has processed. Amending too soon will make the returns cross one-another and can cause confusion.
HOWEVER, if the error will cause you to owe additional tax, make sure you send the tax payment in before the due date of April 15th. You can send a check with your social security number and the tax year written in the memo line on your check or money order.
