Why is my amended tax return not showing a refund?

Question

Hi all,
I filed my tax return a while back and got my refund already. But after awhile I discovered some more receipts to some moving expenses and wanted to add them to my tax return. I completed my amended tax in TurboTax and it is showing more refund on in the refund field on the program. But when I printed the forms, I found that form 1040X is showing 0 in the refund field. Can you please explain? And, is there away to get a refund for the difference between the old refund and the refund in the amended return?

Thanks

Answer 1

Not sure what you're doing wrong, but something is wrong if you are eligible for additional deductions, but it didn't show an additional refund, unless your total tax was already zero, in which case the moving expenses wouldn't take it lower so there wouldn't be an additional refund due to you.

Answer 2

You need to fill out the 1040X separately. You need to compare the returns before and after and then complete 1040X.
