Help Me Fill Out Amended Tax Return 1040X

[Hasan Ahmed]

Hi. First time poster here. Here’s an overview of my situation:

I filed my tax return form 1040 in March. My refund was estimated to be $3210 with an Earned Income Credit of $3305 and health care individual responsibility of $95. Soon afterwards, I received a notice from the IRS to file form 8962. Another $51 were added to my refund using the information from form 8962. A few weeks after filing form 8962, I received another letter from the IRS that my refund amount had been adjusted to $3228.

My refund was never released, and upon calling the IRS, they told me to expect a letter in the mail. I got that letter last week and it’s a request to file the amended tax return 1040X.

I looked over the form 1040X and found it very confusing. Where do I put the $18 that IRS credited to me? (requested a transcript and report, found an explanation code 766). What proof do I attach with that? Where does the $51 credit go on the amended return?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
