To avoid confusing the IRS, follow these steps:

  1. File Form 1120S as soon as possible (the deadline is March 15).
  2. Wait until you receive your refund (if any) or the IRS rejects your Form 1040 personal return (two months at least).
  3. File an amended tax return to include the info from your 1120S Schedule K-1.

Note that the IRS is facing a tremendous backlog in processing flagged returns. If you weren't expecting a refund and don't hear from the IRS after two months, go ahead and file your amended personal return. You may not receive any IRS correspondence for several months.
