My client did not send me their property taxes paid in 2020 and since they were to their $10K max I didn't ask. I found out this year that they do deduct from Oregon. (the only Oregon client I have). So I told them I would file an amended return. The paid $398 in OR tax last year and the property tax added in gives them a refund of $288, but that does NOT include the $398 the paid. I did the math 3 times. I cannot find anywhere on the 540 or the amendment worksheet where to put that $398 that was already paid and should be returned. It just shows the refund from their tax liability minus their withholding. I have spent more time on this reading OR pubs and searching online then I will be getting in a fee. But....things like this bug me. There has to be somewhere to add it so they get their refund plus the $398 they paid last year. Their tax liability went down by $686 and it is only showing the $288 refund. HELP! What am I doing wrong or what am I missing?
