I have 4 paystubs and only initially entered 1. I just did an amended return and was given 3 different refund amounts with the last one ending in me owing them. Help

What am I doing wrong? I’d prefer not to do specifics just for privacy reasons but I anticipated getting more money back and it appeared as if I was supposed to and now it shows me owing money. Is that because I worked multiple jobs or does it have something to do with what income bracket you fall into? I already received a refund and can’t seem to follow up on my amended return .

You don’t enter pay stubs into your return. You enter the W2 the employer gives you.

Yes you probably owe if you had more than 1 job.  Each job only withheld taxes like it was your only job.  And the more income you make the higher tax you pay.

 

You will still get the refund from the first original return or still need to pay the first tax due.  In fact you should not even amend until the first return has fully processed and you get the first refund or your tax due payment has cleared.  

 

Then the amended return is only for the difference you get back or owe.  I think the cover sheet shows what the original return WOULD have been if you did it right the first time.

 

Go by the actual 1040X.  Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 22 should be your additional refund.  If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16.  If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.

 

If you have a tax due, do not send the 1040V.  Just include a check with the 1040X.  Ignore the 1040V.  That is for the original return or what the original return would have been if it didn’t need correcting.  Don’t pay the amount on the 1040V.  Pay the amount on the actual 1040X line 20.

Did you do the amended return or just enter the other W2s into the same original return?  Amending is a special process.
