After you file

You can't file an amended return until after the 25th for several reasons. 

 

The IRS does not want people filing amended returns when they still have original returns to process and the IRS does not want someone filing an amended return until after THAT TAXPAYER'S original return has been processed. 

 

Additionally WHY you are filing an amended return matters. If it is to adjust for the new tax rules concerning unemployment, the IRS does not want you to file an amended return at all. They are adjusting for that on the original returns that have been filed, even the ones already processed. Those taxpayers will get an additional refund if applicable.
