Amended 2022 tax return

I electronically filed my 2022 federal and CA tax returns. I received email messages that both were accepted. After discovering that I had omitted to include an IRA rollover, I electronically filed an amendment on form 1040X. 

 

The original returns showed that I would get $85 in federal taxes and the original CA return showed I owed $447.   After I filed the federal and CA returns electronically, Turbo Tax amended both returns; the federal  return showed zero instead of $85.00, while the CA return showed I owed zero.  Yesterday, I received $85.00 from IRS in my bank account. 

 

Today, $447 was withdrawn from my bank account for the CA tax liability.  I had assumed that after Turbo Tax amended my returns to show zero, that I would not have to pay anything. Any ideas about what occurred?

When you amend your tax returns, the refund/tax due counter is reset to zero before you start your amendment.

 

When your amended returns show $0 tax due/refund, this means that your tax is unchanged from the original returns. So you will get $85 Federal refund and pay $447 of state tax.

 

This is normal as generally an IRA rollover is not taxable.

Great explanation. Now I understand.
