DO NOT DO ANYTHING until you find out if your return is rejected or accepted.

If it has been rejected then you can simply make the corrections required to fix the rejection AND at the same time add the new information, and re-submit your CORRECTED e-filed return.

If it has been accepted you will have to prepare and mail an amended return ---BUT WAIT until you receive your refund before filing the amended return.

Which of the following situations apply?

AMEND:- your return is what you do AFTER your return has been filed and accepted
by the IRS and/or state. (No additional charge)

CHANGE:- your return is what you do BEFORE your return has been filed --simply go
back to the respective information and change it as needed.

CORRECT:- your return is what you do AFTER you attempted to file your return and
it is rejected by either IRS, or state --again, simply go back to the
respective information and change it as needed.

An amended return form 1040-X MUST be PRINTED and MAILED; and can take 2-4 months to be processed.

When mailing a printed return it is always a good idea to go to the Post Office and mail it 'Certified' with 'Return Receipt'. That way you will have proof that they received it and when it was received.
