Prepared a 2020 1040 for a client that had originally been prepared by another tax preparer.  The original 1040 was electronically filed, accepted by the IRS and had the client owing additional tax of which they paid.  After building the new 1040, I prepared a 1040X and requested that it be electronically filed. The new 8879 shows a refund that reflects what it should have been had it been prepared correctly.  Is the new 8879 correct or should it reflect the 1040X refund requested due to the client making a payment on the originally filed return?  Interestingly too, the Return Type under the EF Center does not reflect Federal Amended.  Thinking that it may not since I didn't originally e-file the first return.
