Deductions & credits
I still stand by my original advice. While your approach might look cleaner, it could lead to problems and increase the chance of an automated IRS notice, since the return wouldn’t be accurate.
Make the amendments first, then file your 2025 tax return using the amounts you calculated. Even though the IRS hasn't "accepted" the 2023/2024 amendments yet, your 2025 return will be factually correct based on the records you are providing.
