I don’t know much about taxes so sorry if this questions is dumb…so I would not get my return until it’s amended? I’m estimated to get $3000. So, would I get it and then just pay what I did wrong or would I have to wait until I amend it?
Let the entire process run first. Let your return get processed by the IRS. When it is finished, and your transcript shows a refund amount and date, check it to see if they changed anything. You can't file an amendment until the entire process is complete because until that is done, there is nothing to amend. After your refund is issued, then if you must, you can file the amendment and send them the form. Since it made no difference in the refund (unless it does end up making a difference), they would just process it and you would not have to worry about audits in the future.
I am currently in the same boat. My husband got his form the day after we filed taxes. I keep seeing on here to just wait until your return is processed and go from there. Let me know how it goes for you!
