After you file

Yes, but you will not be able to correct your mistake on your federal return, until your return is either rejected (then you can make the correction and resubmit) or accepted.  If it is accepted you will have to click on Amend My Return when you log back into your return. Answer the questions as to what needs changed, then follow the steps to make the changes.  

If you have not yet mailed your state return, it is best to hold off until after you make the corrections on the federal return. 

Federal returns are not being accepted by the IRS until January 29th, so you will not get a rejection or acception notice until then. 

 

Amendment forms are generally not available until several weeks after the IRS starts accepting returns, so somewhere in late February or early March you will be able to fix your return.
