After you file

What you printed is exactly what you need, but the two 1040's mean different things.

  • The 1040-X reflects the result of all of the changes you have made from your original return.  This will show the additional amount you owe, or have coming back for a refund.
  • The 1040-SR that was printed will be different from your original 1040 that was filed.  This form shows a complete 1040 that includes all of the changes that you made to the original.

Lets look at an example.

  1. Your original 1040-SR tax return showed that you owed -$765.
  2. You prepared a 1040-X and it shows a refund of +$220.
  3. The revised 1040-SR will show an amount due of -$545.
  4. -765 + 220 = -545
