You should file your amended return as soon as you discover any omissions or corrections.Be sure to note where to mail your Form 1040X in the Where To File page of Instructions for Form 1040X.

If you filed an amended return to claim your two children can you still get the 600 stimulus payment or do you have to wait and file on 2008 return?
Yes, you still can get the $600 stimulus payment for your 2007 income tax return. Form 1040X is Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Filing an amended return usually doesn't affect the stimulus payment. If the IRS receives your Form 1040X before issuing your stimulus payment, then your stimulus payment will be issued after your Form 1040X has been processed.For more information, go to www.irs.gov/newsroom for the article, 'Economic Stimulus Payment Q&As'.
Will you be able to go back 4 years and claim earned income credit for 3 of your children that did and still do live with you?
If this is a simple case of having missed the EIC on your return as originally file, you can amend a return for up to 3 years from the due date of the original return plus extensions. You have until October 15th , 2011 to file an amended return for 2007 but the filing window has closed on anything older than that. However, this question requires a bit more information for that to be the only answer. If someone else claimed your children and took the Earned Income Credit on their return, you will not be able to claim it on an amended return unless you want to stir up a big stink with the IRS and the other person--they would have to file an amendment to "unclaim" the children and pay back the amount their tax bill was reduced by the EIC, etc. I would advise that if this is anything other than an omission on your return as originally filed that you work with a qualified tax preparer to address all the potential issues this could raise.
