After you file

You can't amend your return online; an Amended Return has to be printed and mailed in. 

 

It does not 'catch up' with your originally filed return and correct it.  It takes several weeks for the IRS to process an amended return. 

 

Since you filed your return as a non-dependent, your parents will not be able to Efile their return, as your SSN was already Efiled on your return.

 

They will need to print and mail in their return.
