After you file

Wait until you receive your refund to submit your Amended Return.  It will not 'catch up' to your original return and correct it; it will be processed separately and may take several weeks. 

 

Be sure to save a copy of your originally filed return.  You may want to see if the additional $27 actually changes the bottom line of your original return.  If not, you don't need to amend; just keep the documentation for the interest in case the IRS inquires.  Click here for more info on Do I Need to Amend?
