First of all.....did you make up that bounced payment? Otherwise more would have changed on your 2024 return besides just the penalty. Did you use the Desktop program? One thing you could do is open the 2024 program and save a copy of your original return. Then make the changes in the copy ( don't amend it). Then you will have a correct 2024 file to transfer into 2025.
But if the 2024 refund changed the amount applied to 2025 just fix that in the 2025 return.
