thank you very much, VolvoGirl, I appreciate it! and let me provide more info.
My original returns were filed and accepted. I owed money for both Fed and State.
I'm now trying to amend both to add a dependent (my daughter), and the calculation does show a difference in my favor in both Fed and State.
While comparing both returns (original and amended) clearly show where I am supposed to get a credit (I looked line by line), the amended summaries for both Fed and Sate shows 0 refunds.
Line 37 of the filed 1040 shows an amount superior to line 37 on the 1040x, (line 19, "Tax and Credits" shows $2,000 on 1040, and 2500, on 1040x) and yet the 1040x side by side comparison doesn't reflect that difference.
I'm am confused as to why the "total tax due" on the 1040x recap shows the Tax amount (line 16) of the adjusted 1040 without the child credit (lines 19 and 20 of that section same section of the adjusted 1040?
