turbotax disk version 2021 federal ammendment bug

[zobel]

When attempting to ammend a 2021 tax return with turbotax disk version on PC, turbotax is deducting ira contributions in the ammended return even though they were already handled on original return.  its also claiming $200 in credits for these ira contributions ($1500 traditional, $500 roth).  michigan state ammendment appears ok.  turbotax shows $524 federal refund due instead of $0 upon entering "ammend".

Looking for a workaround for federal.  ammendment impacts multiple things (credits, interest, late fees and don't know what else)

Any help appreciated.

Switch to the FORMS mode and make sure that column A of the form 1040 is the same as the originally filed return.  If it isn't then you need to remove the 1040X and put the return back to as it was originally filed and only then start the amendment process again.

Look at the form 1040X …

Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.

If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:

On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return. If you paid nothing already then this line should be zero.

On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received.  If you have not received your refund yet then you need to wait for it.  If the refund changes from what you expected then this line must reflect that change.

Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR  the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.

1040x shows $1500 lower taxeable income.  Assumed to be from $1500 ira contribution already deducted on base return.  I've started with base return multiple times to create ammended return and it does same thing every time.  takes a $1500 deduction i'm assuming corresponds with a $1500 ira contribution that was already taken in the base return.  results in a $524 federal refund being shown before i have edited anything in the return.  State shows $0 as it should.
