On a 1040-x, line 18 is for a return you already received? if you never received a return do you put zero?

Line 18 on a 1040-x is for the amount of a refund you already received?

If you were not due a refund then enter zero. If you were due a refund wait until you get it before amending your return.

Why are you incorrectly amending a return BEFORE the original return has been fully processed and the original refund is in hand ???

@Bsch4477 What happens if I already filed the amended return and had not yet received my refund?

Expect the amended return to delay the original return further and will test your patience to the limit.
