Question

I am amending a return. It puts the refund from the original down as overpayment from original return. I did not receive full refund. How do I adjust this number?

Did the IRS change your return/refund ? If so what did they change ?

Yes they denied my child tax credit. I spoke with them on the phone and all the guy could tell me was to file an amended return with the same info and hope they get it right this time, because he couldn’t see anything wrong. But my question is since they refunded me less than expected on the first return how do I lower the amount on line 18 of the 1040x in TurboTax online version? It seems to auto fill from the 1040 and I need to change it.

OK ... if they denied the CTC did they also deny the dependent ? Did you not enter the correct advance CTC payment when asked?

To amend the return you will have to make the same corrections the IRS did ... that must be the amounts on Column A of the 1040X. You can either fill in the 1040X manually or go back thru the interview BEFORE you start the amendment process and answer the questions in such a way that the return will reflect the IRS changes. Once the return is as the IRS has it only then can you start the amendment process.

They gave possible reasons on the CP12 form. One was receiving advanced CTC which I did not. The other possibility was error on 8812 or not transferring 8812 amount to return properly. As I said the IRS guy I spoke to said all the forms looked correct and he could not understand the correction.

So you are saying reopen the original 1040 and try to make the irs corrections and get the number down that way. I was not even aware I could change anything in the TurboTax software after it was filed. It is not evident how to reopen it for editing but I will have a look. Thanks.

When you click AMEND, your original (or current) 1040 is opened for revisions/corrections.

That's how it works.

Save an original filing copy first, or you will lose it.

Thanks. I thought it was just an interview that only fed into the 1040x. Good to know it is changing the original 1040. Going to be a little odd trying to change it to the IRS version though since they said all my forms were correct. I guess I will have to change something to force the child credit to go away even if it is not what was in my return. Thanks again.
