After you file

If you e-filed a tax return and the IRS accepted it for processing, you cannot file another tax return.   It will be rejected.   You will have to wait and see what the IRS does with the return you filed.   After it has been fully processed you can amend it and fix your mistake(s).   It would be better to use the software you used for the original return when you amend.

 

But ----do not do anything until you see what the IRS does with the return.  You can track it on the IRS refund site:

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
