After you file

Slow down.    You cannot amend a tax return that was just accepted.   You have to wait for it to be processed by the IRS.

 

Do not try to change anything on your return now.   You have to wait.   Once your return has been processed you will complete a Form 1040X   --- which is not yet available --- and submit it to amend the mistakes made when you filed your original return. It takes the IRS at least four months to process an amended return.
