Cancel an amendment?

When I originally filed, I noticed that I didn't report all of the Stimulus money so I filed an amendment which reduced my refund.  However, the IRS made the correction on my original return to adjust for the corrected stimulus amount.  I didn't think I'd need to cancel the amendment I had done, but they are trying to take the adjusted amount from my bank account (in other words, take money they never gave me).  How do do get this corrected?

    You will have to contact the IRS to resolve this issue. There is no form you can submit to amend an amendment. You need to call them and tell them what happened and ask for guidance on how to proceed. When you call them, tell them to put a hold on your account to give them time to address the matter so their collection activities will stop for a period of time. Their number is 1-800-829-1040.

    If you started amending your tax return and would like to cancel the amendment, follow the steps below. You'll need to undo any changes you made during the amendment process.

     

    To cancel the amendment, please follow the instructions below:

    1. Open your return if it isn't already open.
    2. In the left menu, select Cancel Amend.
    3. Select Yes, I want to cancel my amended return and Continue.
    4. Remove any forms or changes you made to your return before or after the amend process was canceled.
    5. Add back in any forms you deleted while amending your return.

    @LenaH I have already submitted the adjusted return and it was accepted so I am unable to cancel it using the steps provided.

    you have to wait for the IRS to handle the amendment and see what they do about it.

    When IRS adjusts your 1040-X to zero tax due, you will get your $1,400 back.
