How do I report a federal refund received on an amended return?

Is there a place in TurboTax to enter the amount of a federal refund on an amended return?  I need to amend an accepted return for which I've received a refund.  I haven't been able to find where I can report this in TurboTax so the correct amount due appears on the return.  It is showing my amended return to be filed with a smaller refund amount rather than the amount due.  Would appreciate any help.

Try going back to the interview process and see if they ask about payment or refund in original return.

If not, then Turbo Tax should have made the assumption that the refund was given or the liability paid on the original return. Line 16 should be accurate. If it is not, then print out the 1040x, manually write in that number and change the corresponding boxes. Then proceed to mail.
