Filed amended return, owing money before receiving initial refund

I am owed a substantial refund but after filing, and before receiving refund, I received add'l 1099 and filed the amended return.  Having an expected refund date of 2-25, I authorized the deduction of what I owed back for 3/1.  The IRS took the money from my account but have still not released my initial refund.  What's going on?

Well your first error was filing the amendment BEFORE you got the original refund. Now you will need to wait for the dust to settle ...the IRS may refund the original amount plus the payment you just had debited since amended returns take 6 weeks or more to process. Nothing you can do but wait.
