If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.   There's no rush to file an Amendment.  It takes up to 16 weeks to process and doesn't 'catch up' and correct your original filing.  @melanie-abigail01 

You can e-file your extension through our Easy Extension website.   An extension does not give you extra time to pay your taxes, which are due on April 15, 2026.  Even if you can't pay your taxes by the deadline, file an extension anyway so you can avoid the late-filing penalty.       How do I file an IRS tax extension?   See all options for filing an extension here.   State Extensions

Do they claim you as a dependent?   If so, it goes only on their return.     If you claim yourself, you can claim it all or your parents can or you can split it up however you choose to.   I'm on my parents' 1095-A form. What do I do on my return?

If your Form 1099-R Box 16 is blank, you don't fix it, you enter zero or leave it blank.  Did you have Alabama tax withheld that wasn't reported on the 1099-R?  If so, you need to get a corrected 1099-R.  If you enter an amount in your return that isn't on the 1099-R, the IRS and state will treat it as an error on your return.

The first page of your tax return PDF is the Filing instructions - that page will show the account and amount you have scheduled.   It normally takes the IRS a few days to take the  payment, but it is effective the date you scheduled it.     See the IRS FAQ page

"Will I receive my refund even though it's been 6 weeks..."   Be reassured that  if you are rightly due a refund, you'll get it at some point even if takes several weeks or even several months.   So don't be scared that you're not going to get it solely based on the time it's taking.  Some returns are randomly pulled for more processing.   Some require extra processing due to the items in the return.  Or the IRS may end up needing some more info from you.   There's no way to tell unless the IRS leaves you a message at the IRS refund tracker, or you get a letter/notice in the mail.   If it goes on unusually long without any message change at the tool, you could phone the IRS to see if they can tell you anything about the delay.  Since it's been 6 weeks, you could do it now, if you wish, for your own peace of mind.  If you do that, when the robot asks, just say "accounts management" or "speak to an agent about my account."   You may have to say it more than once.   IRS: 800-829-1040 (7AM-7 PM local time) Monday-Friday

The proper way to handle it would have been to get a corrected 1099-NEC.  The best way now would be to add an expense to your Schedule C for $312.  You can list it as Miscellaneous, or whatever you want.  You should save the documentation that shows the 1099 was wrong, if you have any.
