Amended 2021 Louisiana return

[MDCPA]

Original return showed a refund of $246.  After amendment (on Form IT-540) the tax is increased by $180, so the refund after amendment is showing as $66.  How do I get it to show $180 due (there doesn't seem to be a line for previous refunds)?  AND I also understand that this amendment must be done by paper - no efiling allowed - your understanding as well?  Thanks for your help.

You don’t.  Amending a Louisiana return involves a checkbox for amended, and then preparing the return as it should be, per amended info.  The state takes that amendment, pulls it for review comparing with the original return.  I put a sticky note on top so the client understands what they owe, or the new refund amount.
