I have a sort of non-related NJ-1040x question that I'm
hoping someone here can understand and help me with....

I already filed my federal return and I've been trying to
finish my state return, both with Turbo Tax. Turbo Tax
won't let me finish my NJ return because it says I need an
additional form, the NJ-1040x. Now I dont have anything to
amend, since I havent made any mistakes in the past and I
havent even finished this return (and Ive never done a NJ
return before since I moved here last year). Then as I
continue in trying to finish this return it takes me back to
the 1040x saying I have an error in it, there's a line to
explain the amendment that it wants me to fill out. again I
dont want to make an amendment and I have no clue what it
would be (how could i amend something I havent turned in-it
tells me not to turn this form in till I turn the original
in). can anyone help me figure this out? do I just ignore
this form? Ive been trying to get around this for weeks, I
would have had m y taxes done if it wasnt for Turbo Tax,
Should I go and do the State taxes on the irs site and maybe
this wont happen to me there?

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

No. Your refund goes on line 19 (overpayment).

No; Ln17 would be -0- (No payments with original), Complete
Ln 19 - 21 for the corrected amount owed. Ln 19 is the
amount of Overpayment (refund) on original filing.

No. You put your original refund on line 19 as a positive
number and send a check.

I hope I can write this clearly enough to actually ask the
question...

If I prepared my 2004 taxes and made a mistake but already
filed the forms...

And I carried all the data over from the incorrect filing to
a 1040X form...

And I got a refund on the incorrect federal report
originally...

is it proper to put my refund amount as a negative number on
line #17 on the 1040X form that I have to file and send with
a check?
