@Jerrad No, as Katina stated above, that is not considered a refund offset, if you have done an amendment and the amount is now lower. A refund offset is when an IRS refund is reduced or intercepted to pay off delinquent debt, such as past-due child support, outstanding student loans, or unpaid state income tax.
Please see the links below for more information regarding how the math works on amendments ect:
Now if you are referring to the IRS already receiving the Amended return and it has reduced from what you showed on the amendment, then yes it would be a refund offset.
You can go to this link Topic No. 203 Reduced Refund there is a phone number you can call to see if there was a refund offset.
