Do I need to return my amended payments before I get my tax return

[d_rodridia52]

I wanted to now do I need to send my amended paper with the payment before I get my tax return or can I send it after

No - we recommend that you wait to amend until after the IRS has processed your original return and you have received your refund (if any). This avoids any confusion at the IRS over the two submissions - original and amended.

The form needed to amend your 2016 tax return will not be finalized until February 11, 2017. Once the form is ready, TurboTax can help you file the amendment. You should send payment for any additional tax you owe along with Form 1040X and any other forms/schedules that changed.
