I noticed an error on my return on the same day I submitted it. I learned a good lesson to double-double check before submitting! Anyway, I immediately completed an amendment. My Fed tax was already approved and is being processed. They are overpaying me, but the amendment says to write a check and mail it with the 1040-X. If I understand correctly, the money will be deposited because it was accepted and then when I receive my refund, I could write the check back for the over payment, right?
I was worried because I amended it as soon as it was approved. I thought maybe they would not send any money until it was fixed and I do not have the money to give to them until they give me the money first.
I also amended the state, just to be sure I did not owe them due to my error, and it is still the same. Do I have to mail in the amended paperwork, even though it is exactly the same with no money due?
