Amended return - refund or net amount due?

Last evening I completed my 1040 with TurboTax and transmitted to our good friends at the IRS!   The calculation indicated that I would be getting a refund.  Then this morning as I went through documents to get them in order, I found one more with interest income that I had not included on the initial return.  After going into the software and making the amendment, I now owe money!  Here's the deal; the initial refund was in the neighborhood of $2000.  The adjustment (amendment) makes the difference between what tax I paid and what tax I owe about $1500.  The amended return is indicating that I need to pay about $3500.  It doesn't add up and I wonder if the system anticipates the IRS processing the refund AND me paying it back with the additional tax due?  Help please!
