If you had a tax liability (an amount above 0 on line 24 of form 1040), then yes, you should file an amended return. The additional income deduction (technically an adjustment to income) will result in a lower total tax and more money back for you.
You have to wait until your original tax return is fully processed (usually when you get your refund) before you can file an amended tax return.
