If i did an ammendment and no additional money is due or owed, do i need to send it in the mail?

No, based on the IRS rules, you only need to make an amendment based on those situations taken from IRS amendment tips listed below.  Since your amendment does not result in a change of the money you would owe or receive, there is no need to amend.

Excerpt from IRS; You should file an amended return if you need to correct your filing status, number of dependents, total income, tax deductions or tax credits. The instructions for Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, list additional reasons to amend a return.
