@Louie G Why did you hit the Amend button? Was your original first return Accepted and you need to change it? You should not amend until the first return is fully processed and you got the first refund.
Then the amended return is only for the difference you get back or owe. I think the cover sheet shows what the original return WOULD have been if you did it right the first time.
The amended return assumes you got the first refund or paid the tax due. Go by the actual 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 22 should be your additional refund. If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16. If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.

In the Desktop program all you have to do is go to Forms mode and delete the 1040X. Then take the changes out.
