After you file

By miscalculation, do you mean that the IRS will adjust the amended return to use 1040X line 15, which lists the original refund amount I never got, or will they just calculate the refund based on line 22, which shows the refund amount difference (which is nothing because I'm not changing anything on the return, just trying to get them to acknowledge receipt of all necessary forms)?

 

I'm not sure how to simplify my question, I'm just trying to make sure that by filing an amended return I'm going to get the original refund amount the IRS never paid, I'm worried that they won't check the 1040X original payment against their records and realize what happened.
