What happens when I amend my return and the second return has a smaller return?

When you start the amend process, the refund that is shown in TurboTax is reset to zero. 

You will still get the original refund if you were due one based on your original tax return. The amended return will show the difference you owe, or that you will get back as a refund. If you are due an additional refund based on the amended return, it will come separately in the form of a paper check.

and what if the amended tax return disqualified me for a "credit" of some sort, how would I go about refunding or repaying that balance to the IRS?
