I made a mistake on my original return so I amended it. The amount that my amended returns said that I would be getting back was the same amount the IRS tried to take out of my account the next day.
TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return, so no one knows if you owed tax due on the original return --- did you e-file and choose to pay your tax due to the IRS via direct debit from your bank account? And when you say you amended---did you e-file an amended return? Contact the IRS to ask them what they are doing--or trying to do.
