Amended Return - payment question

[DPL1964]

I had to file an amended return due to corrections to the 1099 form.  The amount due to the IRS is less.  I had initially set up an electronic payment from my account to the IRS for the original amount due.  Now I am being told to print the payment coupon and mail in payment to the IRS.  Why can't I still may an e-payment for the new amount as initially requested?

You should wait until your E-Payment for your first return has been processed before filing your Amended Return.  The two returns don't connect with each other; they are processed separately.

In your Amended return, you'll indicate that you paid the balance due on your first return.  The 1040X should then show a Refund to you, if the amount owed to the IRS is less.
