Additional Tax Return money paid due to Amended returns

[montelmom]

Do I enter the additional money I received last year from my amended tax returns?
Amended previous years and received additional tax return money? Do I report as income?

You do not have to report last year's tax return as income. 

You do not have to enter the additional money you received from you amended return. 

It does not count as income if it came from a tax refund.  Receiving money from your original and/or amended return is not income, it's money that is given back to you because you overpaid your taxes.
