If you have set up the balance due to be debited at a future date then WAIT to file the amended return until the debit has happened.
OR you can stop the debit and correct the amount already paid on line 16 of the amended return and only send in the lower balance due.
- Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
Look at the form 1040X …
Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.
If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:
On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return. If you paid nothing already then this line should be zero. Changes on line 16 will need to be done using the downloaded program in the FORMS mode or by hand if you paper file the 1040X.
On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received. If you have not received your refund yet then you need to wait for it. If the refund changes from what you expected then this line must reflect that change.
Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.
