Is part of the confusion arising from your original return not being fully processed yet? Do not send in an amended return until your first return has been fully processed. You have three years from the filing deadline to amend. And right now, the IRS is not even opening its mail. Even if you amend now, it will likely take until the end of the year for them to fully process an amended return. Wait for them to finish with your first return before you mail in an amended return.
