After you file

Yes, it may say that you owe when you amend your return, but if you had a refund the first time you filed, you will still receive that refund. 

 

For example, say you do your return and it says you are getting $2000 back. You go ahead and file. The next day you get another W-2 form. When you amend your return and add it, it now says you owe $300. You are still getting a $1700 refund. You will receive $2000 from the IRS and you need to pay back $300.
