Filed Tax ammendment in Oct 2019 and IRS accepted ammendment requested and issued cheque of XXXX amount.

Due to change of address, I lost the cheque and immediately requested IRS to cancel refund.

IRS cancelled refund and my IRS account showed amount balance with negative sign -XXXX with a message that this is not a payoff amount.

I submitted 2019 taxes and got refund but IRS has not issued cancelled refund yet.

My Qs:
1) What this message mean on my account 'This is not a payoff amount' under account balance.
2) How should I request for this refund from IRS? They do not respond to old tax enquiry by phone but accept 2019 tax related Qs only.

Thanks
