When doing an amended return, the meter should reset to zero (if proper amend steps are done) and may show odd numbers until all of your changes are entered. When you're finished with your changes, the refund meter shows any additional amount owed or refunded to you. This amount is in addition to your original payment or refund shown on your originally filed tax return.
Amended returns have to be printed and
mailed. They can't be e-filed per IRS regulation. It is recommended to wait until the IRS has accepted your initial return and you have received your federal refund before you amend the return. If
you've closed out of your amended return, use steps below to print a copy to
mail. We highly recommend you save a copy for your own records in case you need
it again in the future.
