Thank you so much for your quick response.
So, to throw a wrench in all of this - my return is still processing due to a Code 570 (Additional Account Action Pending), then a 971 (Notice Issued) and we underwent a 60-day review dated 3-16-20. It is, of course, past the 60-day mark. Now, I completely understand what with covid that things have been slow. That being said, does the process you outlined still stand if my return was "under review?"
I suppose I'm asking about the processing of a return. If there is an action like the 60-day review on my account, will they still process the original return? There was a hiccup with my husband's income info where part of his income wasn't reported properly to the IRS (we're currently working on getting that sent over). I ended up receiving a W2 I didn't know I was receiving (long story short - a company I worked for 2 months was shut down by FBI - **bleep** owner ran off and we never heard from him after that - didn't know if we were getting W2s). So TL;DR: Our return understates my income and overstates my husband's income.
Once that is updated, is it likely that they'll then issue the original refund so I can then submit the amended?
Of course, if this is one of those situations where there are too many moving parts, and you're not sure, that's totally acceptable. There's not anyone I've spoken to at the IRS who can give me a straightforward answer aside from "file your amended as soon as you can."
Thank you!
