Amendment filed

Zizyman — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 22:09:56 GMT

I filled my return. Then I received as 1009-INT from the IRS, so I did an amendment. The first time I filed it showed an overpayment. When filling the amendment it asked about the original overpayment. I haven't received the first overpayment. The amendment states no overpayment was done. I'm not sure if I filled something wrong. Am I going to received the first overpayment, since that part wasn't effected. I added the income but that didn't change the overpayment.

You need to wait until you get the refunds from your original returns before sending the amended return. Also when filing it, you need to enter the overpayment amount from your original return. ‌If the amended return shows no overpayment (and you entered the original overpayment amount), then it means that the interest you added didn't make a difference on your return.

Do I need to amend?

How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?

Do I need to do something to get the original overpayment or an I still going to receive it? Wondering do I have to file something to fix my mistake, mistake that changed it to no return.

No, you do not need to do anything else to receive the refund on your originally filed return. If adding the IRS interest income to your return did not change your refund, you do not need to file the Amendment.
