I filed my 2021 federal return and owed taxes. The return was accepted and paid. Now I am trying to Amend and e-file taxes, and it shows I owe less now, but it is not counting the initial payment. For example, let's say I paid about $10,000 direct debited from my account in federal taxes and on the amended return it shows I owe $8,000 so I should get a $2,000 refund, but the efile process is trying to direct debit me the $8,000 on top of the $10,000 I already paid.
How does this work? How do I get the refund rather than paying twice?
