Am I able to unfile my taxes

Unfortunately if your returns have been submitted there is no way to stop the process. Think of it as dropping a letter in the mailbox, you cannot go in a get it back. 

The best thing you can do is wait to see if the IRS rejects or accepts your return. If they reject it, you are able to go back into your return and make the changes needed, then e-file the return again. 

If you returns are accepted then you will need to file an amended return to either add the information you need to change.You should not try to amend your return until the original return it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.

Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they are processed as two separate returns.  
Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail.  It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them.   

If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it.  If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.
