State tax filing

Based on the premise that you overpaid your California tax on the original return because too much of your income was attributed to California, and that is what you corrected on the amended return:

 

The amount on line 1 is the tax paid per the amended return, which appears on line 65 of that return.

Line 2 is the refund shown on the original return, line 97/99

Line 3 is the sum of 1 and 2, or the revised tax plus the amount of the refund you got originally.

Line 4 is the refund shown on the amended return, line 97/99

The amount on line 5 is the tax paid per the original return, which appears on Line 65 of that return.

Line 6 will be the sum of line 4 and line 5.

 

Line 9 is the amount on line 6 minus the amount on line 3, and represents the refund you will get back from filing the amended return.
