If I filed my tax amend and got an email saying that it was accepted by the IRS do I have to mail anything?

Once the e-filed return has been e-filed there is nothing more you need to send. Unless you had taxes owed on the amended return then you need to pay the taxes owed.

Go to this IRS payment website if you have not paid the taxes owed - https://www.irs.gov/payments

Go to this IRS website for the status of the amended tax return - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

Thank you! Also do I add the amount of what I owe federal and state to figure out how much exactly I owe?

NO. You only pay the federal taxes owed as shown on the original federal tax return if not already paid. If you have paid the taxes owed from the original federal tax return and you have taxes owed on the federal amended return then you should pay those taxes.

The state taxes owed are ONLY paid with the state tax return either with the state tax return or on the state tax website.

Federal and State are totally separate tax authorities and the tax returns are sent to separate addresses and taxes owed are only paid to the respective tax authorities.
