Sorry the amended return is right. Did you actually get the original $2,346 refund? But if you had done the original return right the refund should have only been $607? Then you do owe back the difference. You got too much the first time.
You will still get the refund from the first original return. In fact you should not even amend until the first return has fully processed and you get the first refund.
Then the amended 1040X return is only for the difference you get back or owe. I think the cover sheet shows what the original return WOULD have been if you did it right the first time. Ignore the new 1040 that might print out.
Go by the actual 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 22 should be your additional refund. If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16. If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.
If you have a tax due, do not send the 1040V. Just include a check with the 1040X. Ignore the 1040V. Or You can pay the IRS directly at
Pick Amended and 1040X on the payment page.
