It would probably not do any good to amend now because it takes the IRS 4 months to process an amended return. I tend not to put to much faith in what the phone bank people say - talk to 3 of them and get 3 different answers. Telling you to amend to correct error is a standard "boilerplate" answer. Of course, you should amend to correct errors, but that does not meant that you need to amend *immediately*. You have 3 years to amend to correct errors.
If you amend now before receiving any refund and the IRS makes changes that you do not know about then you might need to amend the amendment which could take a year to do.
