Has anyone else noticed that the California Amended form is not calculating right? I posted this then thought maybe I was wrong so I deleted it lol but I am sure I am right. Under part 1 if you had a refund it is listing that amount as paid then putting to line 25. If had a refund....didn't pay tax...did you? is so late from working all night, hoping I'm not just confused lol Cause if you owe tax now, wouldn't you also owe what was refunded to you originally?
>>Cause if you owe tax now, wouldn't you also owe what was refunded to you originally?<<
I don't see why you should have to pay it back if it was an honest mistake.
Tell me if I have this right. You received a refund, say $100, and the return was incorrect. But you received the money.
A corrected return says you should have paid $200. But you got $100 back, then you owe $300. The $100 on the original(or first amended) return should show as a refund, not a payment.
Is this what you are asking?
If you got a refund originally, be sure that figure appears in the refund line on the 540X, LINE 27.
Also, be sure that the left-hand column reflects the return as filed. The right-hand column reflects the corrected figures.
That is the only way you will get a correct amendment.
If you owe taxes, than you will have to pay whatever you owe as calculated by the program. If that includes all of your refund, the so be it.
