Yes, it is in addition to the other amount. When you file an amended return, the IRS treats the original return and the amended return like 2 separate returns. If you owe on the original return you need to pay that amount, if you are due a refund you will get the refund. When you amend your return if it states a new amount due you need to pay that amount, and if it states you are due a refund the IRS will send you a refund.
