After you file

Yes.  Both 1040 files had the same value on line 17.  My 1040X had line 16 in column A from the filed 1040, while column C has the value from line 18 on the newly generated 1040.  Column 17 has the same $950 that they decided was too big a discount on health insurance on both 1040 forms.

 

I paid tax on (1040X Line 6) A + 950.  With the new 1040, my line 16 went up $42, but since the 1040X is reporting line 18 as taxes due, it thinks I owe $992, instead of the $42 that I should owe (as far as I can tell).

 

Personally, I don't care if TurboTax uses line 16 or line 18 between the two 1040 forms, but it should be the SAME line!  Since it is listed on 1040X as "Tax", I'd think it would actually be using line 24, "Add lines 22 and 23. This is your total tax".

 

(Note my line 24 is $42 more on the new 1040 form than the filed but the 1040X says I owe $992.)
