Refund monitor for an amended return not starting at zero

[CatinaT1]

Are you amending 2023 or 2024?

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

• You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
• You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
• Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
• The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
• Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
• You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment

I am well aware of this process.  The issue that i, and other customers are reporting, is that the value is not being zeroed out.
"The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due"

I am amending 2023, that i originally filed in 2024.  When the calculator does not start at $0, i have no way to know where the difference is comming from.  When i go through this process, the calculator starts by assuming i already owe $350.
