Amended Tax Return with Voucher following Payment to IRS

In March, I filed my tax return from TurboTax with around $50 tax due to the IRS. I chose to input my personal bank as the way to pay taxes.

Several days later, I then remembered some forms I forgot to include, so I filed Amended Federal Tax return. After amendment, my tax due to IRS did not change -- still exactly the same amount. Except for this time, it generated a Form 1040-V Payment Voucher for Individuals, asking me to mail the voucher with my payment to IRS. I think I probably chose the incorrect payment method during my amending tax process.

I then went into my bank account to check if IRS already deducted the due tax from my original tax filing. They did.

I should not need to pay for the tax for the amended tax filing. But should I take any actions (file other forms, etc.) so that the IRS does not think that I somehow still owe them $50 taxes even though I already paid for it previously?

Thanks in advance.

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.

Ignore the 1040V and the new 1040. 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.

If you confirmed that you already paid the tax due to IRS, then you don't need to do anything else.

You might consider setting up an online account with IRS if you don't already have one. With the online account for individuals, you can:

Make a payment from your bank account or by debit/credit card
- You can also make a guest payment without logging in
View 5 years of payment history, including your estimated tax payments
Schedule and cancel future payments
View pending and scheduled payments
