Hello,

 

I am trying to amend my 2020 return which is already accepted and I have already received the refund in my account. While amending the return to add my schedule K information after selecting my accepted IRS tax return the numbers on the top left window for federal tax goes red and it shows I owe IRS $500. Yet I have not entered the Schedule K information. After entering the schedule K information (business loss) for me and my wife I see I still owe to IRS. 

 

Can you please explain me the reason behind I end up owing to IRS instead of getting additional refund. Technically I should get more refund as my business loss increase the deduction.

 

Need your help.

    you should print your revised tax return, for comparison against your original return,

    and also your form 1040-X tax return.

    This will tell you what is going on.

    I did and I found that they have reduced one the credit from 2500 to 500 but I don't know why?

    when you amend, various credits can change. This is not unusual.

    You don't say which credit was affected.

    Review the rules for qualifying for that credit.
