After you file

Yes, you can spend your money, however  you may want to check your amendment just to be sure you do not owe any money back of if you will get an additional refund.  

 

It doesn't take a lot of time to check it out and then you will have a good idea about where you stand.  There's no rush to send it in, but if you do owe you will want to pay it no later than April 18th for this year, to avoid any interest and/or late payment penalties.

 

The amended return Form 1040-X is available now ahead of schedule.  The IRS will take a little longer to process amendments.  Read all instructions before you begin to amend your return.
