After you file
Due to this year's unprecedented situation it is imperative that you follow the correct procedures or your amended return could be processing for months.
First do NOT amend anything until the IRS sends you the original refund.
Once that happens you can open the program so it will update your return (do NOT use the amendment process YET) and the bottom line should reflect the refund the IRS sent. If it doesn't then look to see what else the IRS changed. All changes by the IRS must be reflected in the program BEFORE you start amending. Colum A of the form 1040X MUST look exactly like the corrected return per the IRS. Only when then should you log back in and use the amendment process to get the stimulus money.
