After you file

Yes, you do want to amend after the original is done processing. Accepted is not processed. Once money is settled, then you can file your amended return.

 

You want to go ahead and file the original 8453 just to make sure the original return is complete. If you want to add a note that you intend to amend and these forms will remain support, you can. It is highly unlikely that anyone would read the note though. The IRS is changing and the scans seem quicker.

 

When you send the 8453 for the amended return, make a note that it is for an amended return on the 8453.
