Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, if you didn't start by selecting Amend my return, you didn't do anything except change the file in TurboTax.

 

If you did start by selecting Amend my return and you followed the process all the way through to the end, you did amend your tax return. 

 

When you amend your tax return, the original and amended return are processed separately. If your original return shows a refund, you will still get that refund.

When you start your amended return, the refund goes to zero. This is based on the idea that the first return was processed and the refund was received, so now you are even with the IRS. 

If you see a refund after you complete your amended return, you will get that as a separate payment. If you see a balance due, you have to pay back that amount.
