Question about Amended returns for Federal and Michigan

[matto1]

I am filing amended returns for Federal and Michigan, due to a tax form that only arrived after I originally files.

In both cases I am getting refunds.

My original returns were both e-filed via Turbo Tax, and I e-filed the Amended return.

Do I need to send any paper forms with the Amended returns? The TurboTax instructions are confusing. It gave me a reminder to fine a paper form, but I think that might be only for Michigan, and I don't understand the TurboTax instructions. It gave me a document that gave an address where to send -- it looked like an address for a Federal Return. The 1040-V had a voucher for a payment of several thousand dollars that I didn't understand at all, and then there's a 2nd page for "2024 MICHIGAN Individual Income Tax Certification for e-file MI-8453" that says "KEEP FOR YOUR RECORDS."

What -- if anything -- do I actually need to us USPS to do, for either Federal or State?

Thanks.

Go by the actual 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 22 should be your additional refund. If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16. If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.

Ignore any 1040V voucher that prints out and the new 1040. Those are what your return would have been if you had not needed to amend.

Did you have a refund or tax due on the original return?  Did you get it or pay it?   You were suppose to wait  until the first return was fully processed and you got the first refund or paid the tax due.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I filed the original returns with the payments on April 15th, and those were all processed.

The only items in the pdf that TurboTax generated are the address for the federal, the 1040-V, and the Michigan 4853, and they are all on a single page. And that was after I e-filed and the TurboTax menu said not to forget to mail stuff, but there's nothing to mail here - the 1040-V is to be ignored and the 4853 is only for my records.

Does that all make sense?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I filed and paid the original amounts due back on April 15.

The TurboTax pdf includes the address for Federal, the 1040-V, and the Michigan 4853, all on one page. The Michigan 4853 says to "keep for my records" but has no mailing address. But the online instructions had said I wasn't done if I didn't mail something. So I am confused, still. My intuition says that, since I e-filed, I'm done and just have to wait for refunds now. I'm just not 100% certain.
