Have you already filed the tax return with the wrong amount?


If you have not filed, see the reply from DoninGA above.


If you have already filed, and your e-file was accepted, wait until the IRS has finished processing your tax return. They might see the error and correct it without you having to do anything. If they do not correct it, you will have to file an amended return to make the correction.
