Why don't I have a refund or amount owed on my amendment?

Your refund (or amount owed) is calculated like this:

Original refund (or amount owed)
- Refund you already got (or tax due paid)
+/- Adjustments you made to your total tax
New refund (or amount owed) from the amendment

Be sure to enter what you received or paid already on the Personal > Amendment Information screen(s), so your amended refund is calculated correctly. If you've done this and made all of your amendment adjustments already, it's still possible to not have an additional refund or amount owed on your amendment.

Why didn't my amendment change my refund (or tax due) like I expected it to?
