After you file

There is no effect on your original return.

Once the IRS processes your amended return, which can take 8-12 weeks, they will issue a check for the additional refund.

Having said that, if you left off an income item, the IRS could potentially send you a notice instead of sending your refund.  However, if you already have a refund status, this means the IRS has likely approved your return.
