Sorry--if you already filed the 1040X you cannot get it back--filing a tax return is just like putting an envelope in a U.S.mailbox -- once you put it in there, you cannot retrieve it.   If the amended return is wrong, then the IRS will likely just not give you any additional refund for the 1040X.  But...it takes the IRS four months or more to process an amended return.

 

 

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
