You would think that to be the case, but I assure you, amending your return will result in significant reduction to the amount you would otherwise be due. An IRS rep told me point blank, “you should not have filed an amended return”. As if, I was being penalized for filing an amended return. Seeing others experiencing the exact same issues only leads me to believe, this was a calculated move intended to reduce and/or delay refunds to thousands of people.
