Filed my taxes, payed for TurboTax deluxe to amend taxes. didn't know I was supposed to mail them. And now my return is supposed to be 1,467 and my return says 284, help

To clarify, I missed the due date and I don't want to mail them because the papers don't show I amended anything.

ALL amended return MUST be mailed in and the program tells you that over and over and over.... see screen shots below.   If you look in the PRINT CENTER and you do not see a 1040X then you did not use the amendment process correctly .. so start again and ignore the Refund-O-Meter all together. 

Look at the form 1040X …

Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.

If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:

On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return. 

On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received.

Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR  the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.
