IRS returned my payment for amended tax return

I found out that I made some excess Roth IRA contributions for 2021 tax year, and made an amended tax return to pay the penalty with IRS Directpay confirmation number; however I got a letter from IRS about receipt of the amended tax return with the cheque from IRS with the same penalty amount. Anyone know why the IRS would return the penalty amount?

The instructions for 1040-X will tell you to ignore penalties.

If there is a penalty the IRS will calculate it and send you a bill.
