Both alternatives are correct. The IRS requires taxpayers to prepare their taxes as "essentially correct', some errors are considered de minimums.
- Regardless, you should wait until your initial return is completely processed before you do an amended return.
- If there is a significant problem with your return you will receive a CP2000 letter from the IRS.

- If you do get a letter, there will be no need to do an amended return.
