Amending 2024 1040 for $186 additional dividends and Capital gains produces $570 additional taxes

I just received a form from a Mutual fund liquidation ( Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Trust) that paid $93 in Qualified dividends and $93 Capital Gains distributions ( $627 ST Gains and $534 LT Losses)  that were not on the 2024 1099-B from Schwab. 

 

I sold the Fund in 2023, but the liquidation in January 2024 added additional income. Schwab did provide a "Final Cash Liquidation amount" ( $797) on the 2024 1099B  but it is less than the total noted on the monthly statement ($1659)

 

None of these numbers add up to the amounts shown

 

Originally I overpaid 2024 taxes by $3982 and applied $3900 to estimates and got a $82 refund.

 

When I add an additional 1099-B with these amounts from the liquidated mutual fund ( $186 total) , in the amended form, my taxable income from 1040 increases by the appropriate amount ( $186) but the 1040X increases it by $1924.  The listed "correct" amount  in column C is accurate but the "original" amount for my AGI on the 1040 X is $2000 lower than the AGI on the original 1040.

 

The final 1040 X has me owing $570  additional tax. 

 

Any ideas of why the AGI numbers are not accurately populated from the original 1040?

Can I go in and override them to the accurate numbers?

 

Is it even worth it for additional $186 of income?.

If you are using the desktop TurboTax software you can go to forms mode and enter the correct AGI on Form 1040-X line 1 column A. It's not an override. Just enter the amount.


I don't know why it's not correct. When I did a test of amending a return the original AGI in column A was correct.

For that much additional income you do have to file the amended return.
