After you file

I spoke to the State of CA via chat and they told me to ignore the notice. I saved the chat in a Word document. On my wife's amended separate return, she was entitled to and received a refund from the State. She returned the overpayment through the amendment leaving a refund of about $500 which she actually received. We subracted that refund from the Amended State Joint return with an explanation on Part X. We received two notices: Notice of Tax Return Change - No Balance Due with both of our names and State Income Balance Due Notice for her Separate Return which is confusing.
