So unfortunately, this is my first time filing my own taxes and I panicked quite a bit for my amended return as well and submitted the 1040X without realizing that I hadn’t done those steps that involved removing the 1098-T first as stated. However, on my 1040X, it does state that I had originally paid money to the IRS and with the amended return now, it states that the IRS owes me money.
My question is, with this amended 1040X that states the IRS owes me a refund with the 1098-T credit and my original tax return that I had submitted that states the amount I owe to the IRS without the 1098-T, does it matter that the 1040X was submitted with the “messed-up” return that states I was going to receive a refund? (Since the IRS has the original return without the 1098-T) Please advise if that doesn’t make sense and I can go further into depth about my situation.
