    I'll say no - if you filed an honest tax return going back and filing a dishonest return in order to collect benefits is not going to work. The filing will not be successful.

    So would this be illegal ? Are you a CPA or tax advisor? I was told by an attorney to check with a CPA or tax advisor... Thank you for your help...

    No, I'm neither - I work in the legal profession. This is not the first attempt I've seen where someone refiles an income tax return in order to receive benefits - or avoid paying child support.

    How are you going to explain that your first tax return was fraudulent?

    Believe or not, you have a legal obligation to claim valid deductions, so you CANNOT amend to to unclaim the mileage.
