Amended Return error

I filed my TY2020 taxes with TurboTax Desktop (TTD) on May 17, 2021.

TTD did not alert me to the fact the underpayment was assessed and added to the Fed tax.

 

I wanted to correct this and started a 1040X return.

When I look at the 1040X AND BEFORE making any changes,

the numbers are messed up for both Fed/NJ.

 

For one, the Federal shows I owed 1, and the NJ shows I get a refund of 624,

What it should show is $0 difference for both Fed/NJ.

When looking at the Federal 1040X form

the Original Amount column numbers are incorrect,

but the Corrected Amount  numbers are exactly the way I filed.

When looking at the NJ1040X form, it is same thing.

 

There have been two TTD updates applied since I filed.
There is no way to find out what these updates changed.

 

I am used the Mac OS X version of TurboTax Desktop

on a MacBookPro running Catalina 10.15.7


What is going on here ?

Due to the tax law changes in March and the subsequent program changes it is making amending returns this year much more difficult since the 1040X column A must reflect the newer of the original figures  or the updated ones changed by the IRS.
