Yes, that is correct. You originally overstated your benefit by $1500 and you received the benefit of an extra $1500 credit on your original return. With the amendment, you have to pay that back. As a result, your tax due of $1500 on your 1040X is correct.
Your amended return is the correction needed because you are paying back the $1500 that was originally credited on your original return
