After you file

That is why we ask that you amend  after your original return has been fully processed.  This allows the processing to flow effortlessly.  If the original return is processed before receiving the amended return, they will start to process sending you a bill for the balance due.  However, when the amended return is processed it will reduce that refund by the balance due.  This is quite a normal transaction for the IRS and they will send you a notice of explanation for each.
