hi @Chelseea122
There are strict time limits on amendments and generally they have to be done within 2 years and this is on the ATO website here.
So even though you have amended the 2016 financial year return and it shows you do not owe anything you may not get anything back if your out of that 2 year time period.
If they do not refund you anything then the only thing you can do is to lodge an objection against the 2 year time limit but even this may be futile.
A lot of people get caught out by this.
Good luck with this
