Filing a second amended return

[JML222]

Hello,

I was just informed that an amended return I filed for 2022 under reported the quarterly tax paid and I need to file another amended return for the same year.

Since the original hasn't been processed yet, is it best to wait until the first amended return clears the system before filing the second? Also, any insights as to filing a second 1040x is appreciated.

Cheers!

something like that the IRS will probably catch when they process the initial amended return.

Something like that IRS would have caught when the original return was processed, if you are talking about estimated-tax payments.

One would hope. I guess I'll have the client wait until the initial 1040X is processed then file another.

Thanks!

When was the original return filed?  Has it been processed?  Has IRS sent any notice regarding the correct amount of ES payments?
