unless it is the IRS requesting the amended return, one should not be submitted until the original return is processed. consider the mess you may create if the IRS changes your refund. That would make your amended return wrong.

Do NOT send in an amended return until your original tax return has been fully processed. That can cause much confusion and delays. You have three years from the filing deadline to send in a amended return, so wait and send it later after your first return has been processed.

Look at the form 1040X …

Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.

If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:

On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return.

On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received. (this is why you cannot file an amended return until you have the original return in hand)

Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.
