After you file
Once you have saved a copy of the original return start the amendment process and make the required changes ... if you have already paid the original balance due then it should be on line 16 ...
Amend FAQ:
Look at the form 1040X by switching to the forms mode …
Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.
If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:
On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return.
On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received.
Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.
