I NEED TO AMEND FOR UPDATED INFORMATION. WHY IS A BALANCE DUE WHEN I NEVER GOT A REFUND

[pk]

@Mrdovecourt1108 , I may be wrong ( so please forgive if true ), but it seems to be  that

(a) you have filed a return that was accepted for processing

and

(b) without waiting for that process to complete ( see IRS "Where is my Refund" -- WMR ), you have a need  to amend the filed return ( because of new info ).   

Turbo has no knowledge  that your refund  has/ has not been issued -- it  therefore assumes that it is so.  Thus the figure that you see is based  on that the refunds have been issued.   

Generally it is strongly recommended that you wait till the original return has been processed ( and refund issued ) before you file an amended return.

Is there more one of us can do for you ?

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 1040X 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.  Ignore the new 1040 that might print out.

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.
