I submitted my taxes in early February and was owed about $141 as a state refund and owed $10 to the fed. I forgot a 1099-INT, so I sent in an amended return for both Fed and State about two weeks later. The Amended return showed I owed an additional $66 fed and a state refund of $161 (a difference of $20). Like clockwork, the Fed cashed their check and I can see on their website at my account, an additional $10 will be auto-debited on April 18. The state deposited the $141 into my checking account about two weeks after I submitted the original tax returns. Yesterday, the state deposited $161 into my checking account. I'm not looking to be labeled a tax cheat for '$20'. How should I go about getting this corrected? Leave it in the account and wait for them to contact me? Try o contact them, maybe send in a check for the $141. WWYD??
Great minds...🙃 sent an email today asking for guidance.
