I have a 1099-INT for cashing Series EE Savings Bonds. When completing my income section, I entered the amount of the interest (2891.64) in Box 1 and Box 3. Think I was only supposed to enter in Box 3. E-Filed the return, then in sight checking my Schedule B, the amount showed up double the amount of the actual interest I received (5,782). I'm guessing it added Box 1 and Box 3. I have started the Amend process. I entered the 2891.64 amount in Box 3. But, it reduces the AGI by 5,782. Also shows $0 for the interest at this bank. It shows an additional refund of 1,499. I expected the AGI to only be reduced by $2,891.64. My original return was accepted and we have received our refund. I thought the IRS would catch my error, if they had the information from the Bank and up our refund. But that wasn't the case. Any help would really be appreciated.
