"I have already made a payment in 2022"
Did you mark that payment or check for tax year 2021?
Did you mark it for 2021 Form 1040 (direct pay Balance Due) or for 2021 Form 1040-X (direct pay Amended Return?)
In either case, that payment should equal the "amount you owe" on 2021 Form 1040-X.
@miguel0602
I've seen the IRS refund1040-X check payments because of the long delay in processing 1040-X.
That's a pain.
