Thank you thank you thank you..... FINALLY someone in this forum who is answering this issue correctly. The person with the cat picture is giving out completely wrong information on this topic.
ATTENTION READERS:
THIS reply from CatinaT1 is the CORRECT answer to this issue. Beware. Most of the other answers on this topic are completely wrong. DO NOT file a 1040X for this scenario. That form doesn't apply to this scenario. That form has no provisions for this scenario. The 1040X is not a solution. Do what Catina says. She is right.
