I started an amendment for a return where I was receiving a refund back from both federal and state. IRS and state "accepted" my returns. I started my amendment and my state "counter" went to zero but my federal went way into negative territory. I continued on and entered additional 1099-DIV income that I'd forgotten. The state now shows I owe (checked it all - looks okay) but federal still shows big negative number. I went through it with a fine tooth comb and all the calculations appear correct EXCEPT I see that line 16 on the 1040X shows that I paid several thousand dollars with my return (I did not -- I'm still waiting for my refund). I have not made any EFTPS payments either. Where is Line 16 getting the number from? I am tempted to override this with a zero --- wondering if there is an error? Thank you!
