After you file

It depends- at this time, you will need to wait until your return is either rejected or accepted.  If your return is accepted, then you need to amend the return.  When completing an amended return, you should wait until the return is fully processed, and that means after you receive your refund, if you were expecting one.  Then you will know if the IRS made any adjustments. If you received the refund you expected, here is some more information on filing amendments: How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS

 

If the return is rejected, you can correct the issue and e-file again with the correct amounts.
