Need to amend 2021 return. My refund is still pending from original return. Amend seems to have issues as $0 reset not happening for Federal
Hi
I have two questions for which I am seeking help from Turbo Tax professionals
1) Filed my 2021 taxes over 3 weeks ago and refund is still pending. I have made a mistake in my original return which reduces my refund due amount a little bit from original return. Shall I wait for my original return to be processed which may be pending for manual review and may take weeks to months or go ahead and file an amendment for the correction and pay the difference via 1040-v or wait till original get processed or any letter for correction comes in?
2) While I wait for answer to 1 above, I tried to click on amend button and it is not resetting my federal amount to $0 and showing a negative due even before making any amendment but for state it is showing correctly as $0.
I understand that reset may not happen correctly until all steps are done but even after completing all the amendment steps, whatever the dollar negative amount came when clicking start amending return is coming until the end even in the printout of return. It is adding that random amount to actual due amount on the first page of printout of return which has mailing information as well as in the 1040-v payment form but on 1040-x random incorrect amount is not appearing and whatever i should owe is coming correctly.
How do I fix the random amount which is coming in 1040-v and the first page of tax return?
It is definitely a bug in Turbotax software.
Your help is much appreciated.
