I completed a form 1040X, but there were no instructions after printing the form. Should I mail the form in with a check for the amount owed?

If you followed the procedure as shown in the TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2016 tax return using the online editions then a filing instructions page would have been included on where to mail the tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3402261-how-do-i-amend-my-2016-turbotax-online-return

  • When you're done, we'll provide instructions to print and mail your amended return because an amended return can't be e-filed.

Use this IRS website for where to mail your federal amended tax return, Form 1040X, based on where you live - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment

Pay any taxes owed as shown on the amended return with a check or money order.  Include the payment with the amended return when mailed.
