How do I check on my amended return

[IRS Taxpaper hostage]

It is what it is. I learned my lesson. I get refunds, so this will teach me to wait to file in case I did have to amend. Funny, this is the first amendment I've ever done in decades of filing and it proved to be unpleasant. Hopefully the lovely post office won't misplace my check.

I should not owe the IRS any money.  It’s been the same for 20 years and I never had to pay in and got a refund!  Now they’re 

 trying to charge me $759

Without being able to see your return I can't tell why you owe this year.  Double check that amount of taxes withheld on your W-2 was entered correctly. 

 Common reason for owing this year:

• Your income increased.
• You didn't have enough tax withheld from your paychecks. 
• You lost a dependent.
• You changed your filing status.

Also, there have been a number of tax law changes that might have affected your return.

Here are some of the changes:

• Those who got $3,600 per dependent in 2021 for the CTC will, if eligible, get $2,000 for the 2022 tax year.
• For the EITC, eligible taxpayers with no children who received roughly $1,500 in 2021 will now get $500 in 2022.
• The Child and Dependent Care Credit returns to a maximum of $2,100 in 2022 instead of $8,000 in 2021.
• No above-the-line charitable deductions. During COVID, taxpayers could take up to a $600 charitable donation tax deduction on their tax returns. However, in 2022, those who take a standard deduction may not take an above-the-line deduction for charitable donations.
