No one can see your tax return. You have not mentioned what you changed when you amended. If you changed something regarding the income you entered, then it is quite possible for your AGI to change on the Form 1040X and be different from the AGI you had on line 11 of your original Form 1040.

If the amounts in column A on the 1040X are NOT the same as on the original return then you have problems ... you should stop and figure out what was changed before continuing.

Yes agree, this is a Turbo Tax problem. Turbo Tax should bring over the figures that were used to file the original 2021 return. How can TurboTax be contacted to reset and bring across the original TurboTax filed data.

Turbo Tax does not show anywhere how they arrived at the AGI as originally submitted - even using the workpapers reports. In the amendment my income totals do NOT change only the split between interest and dividends. As such Turbo tax shows the amended AGI to equal the original filing, but shows a DIFFERENCE from what they bring over?

I cannot submit the amended return which shows that TurboTax has brought forward the INCORRECT AGI.

Secondly Turbo tax does not offer to clear any data that is entered when using Amend, the Cancel Option just leaves the user where they were and not clear the data and start again.

If the amounts in column A on the 1040X are NOT the same as on the original return then you have problems ... you should stop and figure out what was changed before continuing.
