State Amended Tax Return

I filed our taxed at the beginning of February. We received a Federal return but owed State taxes of $458. Fast forward to this week and I get a letter from my company stating the payroll software had overstated my taxable wages on my state portion of the W-2 by $900. When I filed the amendment it showed zero was owed or due, so do we still owe the original $458? Shouldn't that have gone down with the amended return?

When you first started your amended return did the Refund Meter reset to zero?

If it did, it was expected that you had already paid the state $458.
However, if you reduced the state wages by $900 there should have been a reduction in the tax owed.
Please re-check the entry of the W-2 that was in error.
