After you file

New York state has not paid me the $4500 from the first return, but they have deducted the $4700 already from my account for the amended return. I think that's where the issue lies. I'm not sure how they can 0 out line number 68 given they haven't paid it to me yet.

I'd understand if they haven't paid the number, they've fixed it, and then they deducted ~$200. In this scenario - do I need to get New York state to pay out the initial $4500 refund? Or do I just wait for them to process this and hope they reach a point where they recognize the refund was not paid.
