Efile Authorization Form for amended tax return

[pc321]

I'm filing Form 1040X for 2020. The original tax return showed a refund of $1,000.  The client has received the $1,000 refund from the IRS.  A mistake was made on the return and the refund should have been $1,700 instead of $1,000.  The Form 1040X properly shows that the taxpayer is due an additional refund of $700.  The problem is that the efile authorization form (Form 8879) shows the gross refund of $1,700 instead of the $700 refund listed on the Form 1040X.  Do I have to have the client sign Form 8879 to file an amended tax return?  If yes, how do I generate a Form 8879 that only shows the refund listed on the Form 1040X?

Be sure youve marked the EF box for the amended return on the Fed Info worksheet, once you do that, it should put the correct amount on the 8879..
