We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I filed my taxes incorrectly and was refunded $702 for fed when I should have owed about 1200. I amended my return, but now I owe 1900 fed Was the incorrect 700 added in?

original married filed joint return did not include my spouse's w2 on accident. not sure if the 1900 is a new number, or if turbo tax already took the incorrect refund I had already received into account.

The amended return does take into account any refunds that you have previously received. I have attached a copy of the Form 1040X to give you a visual if you haven't yet printed the form. 

Line 18 is where the previous refund is entered. It is subtracted from the total adjusted payments on line 18 and the difference is entered on line 19. 

You will owe tax if line 11 Column C is greater than line 19.

You will receive an additional refund if Line 11 Column C is less than line 19.

Unfortunately, TurboTax on-line does not allow you to review the amended return until it is printed.  TurboTax Desktop does in the Forms section of the program.

It is suggested that you prepare a paper return if you can, to determine if the end result matches the Form 1040X figure shown in TurboTax.  If it does not, then you may want to revisit your entries. You will need to refer to the  Form 1040 Instructions booklet to enter the amount on Line 6 of the Form 1040X.  The tax tables begin on page 67.
