Thanks so much for your reply. The Intuit/Turbotax amended 2020 return did register the $17000 reduction in my adjusted gross income. It's just that it (according to Turbo Tax) did not then result in an increase in my refund amount. I thought that was odd since my taxable amount (my new AGI) reduced my tax liability by 18 percent (in dollars, my AGI went from $97000 down to $80000, but with no change in the amount I am refunded. My original 2020 return left me with a refund of 400 dollars. When my amendment reduced my AGI by 18 percent, I thought I would see an increase in my refund amount, but according to Turbotax, I do not. I just want to make sure I'm not leaving anything on the table in terms of refund. Thanks again.
My AGI changed when I had zero tax liability (I had an original refund of 400 dollars. WHen I amended (legit amendment above the line, which reduced my AGI by 18 percent), there was no change in refund amount, so naturally I thought I did something wrong.
