Hopefully the IRS does something to reverse these erroneous returns. Fortunately for me I normally owe so there is no refund that's being held up. Unfortunately for those anticipating a refund it may be a long while before they see that. As I said though hopefully the IRS will release some type of tool similar that will let people retract their previous return if it was done in error. I personally just went ahead and electronically paid what I owe on official payments, so that they are paid well in advance. Keep in mind also that you actually have 3 years to amend a return, so technically as long as you're not missing a refund and you pay what you owe then you have plenty of time to rectify this.
