After you file

I really appreciate the help! A few follow up questions if you don't mind.

 

Do I need to wait until the IRS/State receive and process his amended return, or can I send mine in now, knowing his should arrive and be processed first?

 

I have turbo tax 2018 installed, and my .tax file for 2018. I can open my 2018 return and amend it in the software. But my question is, do I need to do that? Or can I simply download my rejected return, sign and mail it? My return was correct and I don't need to change anything on it. These seem like stupid questions, but I'm asking anyway >.>

 

My last question is more of a theoretical, opinion question, assuming there is no clear cut answer regarding this anyway. Do you think I need to refile my rejected return to get the COVID-19 relief package? Or will the fact that I paid taxes in 2018, and filed a return with direct deposit information be adequate?

 

Thank you very much, I do qualify for Free File, so that's a huge relief. Worse case scenario, I can file a 2019 return to get the COVID-19 relief.
