No!! Do not amend at this time!!
The IRS has the authority to correct the stimulus issue for the taxpayer if the taxpayer makes a mistake. Although I have not seen this spelled out in black-and-white, what seems to be the most likely situation — and is suggested by some IRS FAQs — is that the IRS will correct your tax return and pay the adjusted refund. This will likely kick your tax return out of the normal expedited processing system and delay your refund.
You should only file an amended tax return if the IRS pays the refund that you originally claimed without adjustment. Don’t file any amended return until your original return is completely processed and you have received any refund that you claimed. If the refund is less than you claimed, you should also wait for the IRS to send a letter explaining the adjustment, which comes separately from the refund and usually 2 to 3 weeks later.
