Wait until 1/27 to e-file your amended return.

 

Should I wait until 01/27 to be able to do this or should I just paper mail it in now?

If you paper file, the processing of the amended return will takes weeks and weeks (i.e., months). If you can e-file the amended return, you should do so.

Go ahead and submit your 2024 return now with a zero excess carryover. The processing of each year's tax return is largely independent of other years', so they wouldn't know that you still had a carryover on the books anyway (not for a year or more).

Should I file an extension this year and wait until the ammendment is processed? Or am I OK to proceed as if the ammendment will be approved?
