Wife's itin rejected,they are processing my tax returns.Do i need to file an amended return with the new itin application or i can just attach copy of the original return

My wife's itin is rejected and they are processing my tax returns, my refund will be lower than estimated since they would take away credits for my wife. My question is do i need to file an amended tax returns with the new itin application or i can just attach copy of the original tax returns?

You will need to amend the return however now you will need to wait for the ITIN to submit the 1040X.  Send the 1040X with the new W-7. 

In the meantime, go ahead and make changes in the return to reflect the IRS changes.  An amended return has to start off exactly as originally filed or as adjusted by the IRS.  Wait for the refund to be in hand before you start the amendment process.

The 1040X instructions are here:

Currently I am waiting for my refund without the itin credits since it got rejected. So when i file my new w7 you are saying I dont have to send a 1040x amendment with it. Does that mean I have to just send a copy of already filed(original tax retunrs that i send the first time with w7) tax returns?

Sorry, let me restate that .... wait for the original refund then send the amended return with the new W-7.
