After you file

Your amended return should reflect what you owe to the IRS had your taxes been completed correctly. You should not amend your return until it has been fully processed by the IRS.

 

The amended return will show the difference you owe, or that you will get back as a refund. When you look at your amended tax return, line 18, you will see your original refund amount. Is that what you are asking about?  Normally you would not amend a tax return that has not been fully processed.  You would get your refund back and then amend.

 

If you explain your situation a little more, it will be easier to help you. Did the IRS process your tax return or reject it? Did they tell you to amend your tax return or fix it and re-file?
