No you have to mail a check.

 

Go by the actual 1040X.  Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 22 should be your additional refund.  If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16.  If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.

 

If you have a tax due, do not send the 1040V.  Just include a check with the 1040X.  Ignore the 1040V.  That is for the original return or what the original return would have been if it didn’t need correcting.  Don’t pay the amount on the 1040V.  Pay the amount on the actual 1040X.

You can have the balance due direct debited for an amended return if you wish but mailing a check will also work.   When you complete the FILE tab again you can change the bank account information if you like but BEFORE you efile the return please review the filing instruction page for the amended return to see if the debit info is correct.  Otherwise indicate you will mail a check and remove the DD info in the FILE tab before efiling it.
