After you file

First yiu wait to see if it will be accepted or rejected by the IRS.  The IRS will open on Jan 27.

 

If rejected you can correct and re-file.  If accepted you MUST wait until the return has been fully processed an you receive any refund.  Then you can amend.  Amended returns take about 4 months to process, so don't be in a rush.
