That's the problem, it doesn't reset to zero when I start.

When I'm finished with my changes, the expected refund still includes this additional amount that I already received in the original refund.

 

Original Schedule 3 of form 1040 has the following (just to illustrate, not my actual amounts):

1. Foreign tax credits: 456

6c. (form 8911): 78

7. Add Lines 1 to 6: 534

Line 13b on the original form 1040 also shows 534

 

When I start the amended return, before any changes, it immediately shows I'm due a refund of 78.

Line 7 of form 1040-X shows:

A - Original Amount: 456

B - Net Change: 78

C - Correct Amount: 534

 

I believe that Original Amount on Line 7 of 1040-X should match Line 13b on original 1040, but in this case it doesn't.
