timing of the additional refund payment based on filed amendment

[Taxes_Are_Fun]

If I was due a bigger refund based on amendment, how will the additional refund be paid back to me? As an additional payment from IRS shortly after filing the amended return? Or, will it be added as a credit to my following year payment?

It would normally be paid as a refund to you instead of being credited to your 2025 taxes.  Be aware that it does take a substantial period of time to process an amended return.
