Your best and safest bet for accuracy and clarification with the IRS going forward would be to amend the return. Again, remember what I had said before about making sure that the IRS has received, accepted, and processed your return before doing so. The IRS will catch this oversight on your part, but depending on when they do so will also dictate what all they charge you for any interest/penalties incurred for any tax preference you received. The general rule of thumb, so to speak, is that if you've come to realize that you made a mistake in filing, fix it as soon as you can. AGAIN, provided the IRS has already processed the incorrect return. Otherwise, they wind up with two in the system and that just causes a whole big mess!
