After you file

I filed 2019 tax as NR-EZ but want to amend it using 1040X because I should've filed 1040.

According to 1040X instructions: (1040X instructions) 

Resident and nonresident aliens.

 Use Form 1040-X to amend Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ. Also, use Form 1040-X if you should have filed Form 1040 (or, for years before 2018, Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ) instead of Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ, or vice versa.

To amend Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ, or to file the correct return, do the following:

  • Enter your name, current address, and social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) on the front of Form 1040-X.

  • Don’t enter any other information on page 1. Also, don’t complete Parts I or II on page 2 of Form 1040-X.

  • Enter in Part III the reason why you are filing Form 1040-X.

  • Complete a new or corrected return (Form 1040, 1040-SR for amended 2019 and later returns, Form 1040NR, etc.).

  • Across the top of the new or corrected return, write "Amended."

  • Attach the new or corrected return to the back of Form 1040-X.

Question:  In the new form 1040, I have my refund amount 'X'. But before, I owed IRS money and made a payment 'Y' online. I want to know how to record that payment in form 1040? cos I need to get X+Y now.

Can someone please clarify? thanks
