After you file
Ok ... first REVIEW the original 1040X carefully ... was the original payment you made on line 16 ? If so the look at the rest of the 1040X to reflect how the new refund was calculated.
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.
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.
Now ... if column C is not correct and you still need to amend the return again ... then you will start the amendment process again ... this time column A will reflect the figures on the column C of the first amendment. Only when column A so reflects the filed return should you make any further changes to the return. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CHOOSE TO USE THE DOWNLOADED AMENDMENT PROGRAM THIS TIME IF YOU CAN. It will be easier to make changes to lines 16 & 18 to reflect the net of the refund & balance due correctly thru the direct entry in the FORMS mode.
