If you already filed your tax return with a mistake then you need to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend. Do not amend until it has been fully processed.

@lin_jeremy2 - does the typo change how much tax you owe?

I don't believe so. I was part of the form that listed a property we own that was a vacation home now as a rental income property. We bought it for $120,000 but I inadvertently made it $1,200,000. Our initial mortgage was $105,000 and that was entered as $1,005,000

It was bought in 2017 and what I understood from TurboTax when we started that tax return was that these forms didn't impact our return this year but were essentially "establishing" the property a a rental property
