After you file
I think I will be able to e-file the federal amendment but will mail the state. I worked with a Turbo Tax support expert today who got a tech support on with them that was good extra pair of eyes and some moral support. Here is how I plan to attack this and following changes were done by me.
In the Forms Mode 1040X Before Line 16, I saw that the Original 2021 Return Payments Smart Worksheet section, B- The Tax paid with original return was almost doubled up. I removed it and instead filled the empty amount A- Total amount paid with request for extension of time to file with actual payment done in April 2022.
Moreover, I used the correct "Your Amended Return Summary" shown in Step-by-Step mode to update the 1040-X column A - Original Amount lines 1, 5, 6, 7 and 12 -that were incorrect. Example picture below.
After doing this I see correct reduced tax / refund in the refund-o-meter. As well as the PDF forms generated for Filing is looking reasonable without the huge refund.
Appreciate your support.
