Of course the real return will be delayed for months ... that is what happens when you file an amended return to correct an incorrect filing.
And I have a hard time passing incorrect information to those looking to fix their mistake. As others have supposed, the IRS may allow taxpayers to simply file a paper 1040 with an explanation of amending however they may also not allow it ... no one knows for sure at this time.
Since the IRS has not issued any guidance on how to correctly amend the return in this situation I will continue to pass along the current standing instructions which is to properly amend the return which should be simple if the users log into the TT stimulus program and follow the amending process.
Sadly this is going to be a big mess that the IRS will be cleaning up for months to come.
