You submit your taxes with TurboTax and then receive some additional income statements. You select amend your taxes with TurboTax to add the additional income, and you follow the process. The resulting amended return instructions and required steps direct you to mail a balance due to the IRS for the new taxes from the additional income, and the amended return shows an overpayment after the new required taxes are deducted. I must be missing something pretty fundamental because it seems that with the amended return process, I wound up having the new taxes deducted from my taxes paid, and I had to pay again for the new taxes with a check. Why a check when the new taxes in the resulting amended return are deducted from taxes already paid?
