1040X Calculation
Hello Guys,
In error; last night I filed a personal tax return and forgot to include figures from a W2. As the original return was filed, client showed a refund of $5K. Today, I am correcting that mistake and amending the return to include figures from W2. Now it shows tax payer owes $6K to the IRS. In real life, the tax payer only owes $1K as they have not yet received the $5K refund. In Proseries Basic - form 1040X, Line 17A, automatically populates the "refund" amount as paid, which in my case is not true as it was filed last night.
My question is: Should I put $0.00 on line 17A (since tax payer has not received the refund) or leave the automatically populated amount of $6K?
I just don't want to create possible issues with the IRS and tax payer.
