I mailed in an amendment and I have NOT already received the original refund...

I wrote this question in a different way yesterday and didn't quite get the answer I was looking for. I am seeing everywhere that I should not mail an amended return until after receiving my original refund.

Well I did it anyway (because I didn't know). What does this mean?

The reason I did it was because of the new thing where they are checking against what employers report. We had mistakenly under-reported and owed $21. The IRS cashed the check we mailed back. My original refund still says processing (with no status bar) and nothing is in WMAR.

Bottom line. What if you DID mail it in even though it's not recommended?

Thanks
