After you file

Just a reminder to all of you that an amended tax return should not be filed until the original return is completely settled, all the finances done.

  • If the IRS owes you money, wait until you have it before you file an amended return.
  • If you owe the IRS money, you can file an amended return but have to be careful to mark that you did not pay. The program will assume you have paid and this will inflate your refund falsely and cause more delays.
