First wait until the tax return that you filed has been processed and you have received the refund. Then you can file an amended return, Form 1040-X, to make the correction and get the additional refund.

No one can say for sure whether filing an amended return would increase your chances of being audited, but I would not give up $500 because you're worried about an audit.
