My amended return was accepted. And I selected to pay the balance electronically. Is it safe to assume that I don't have to send a check?

Turbo Tax gave me two conflicting instructions. One is that the balance will be withdrawn electronically, and the other is I need to mail a check to IRS. What should I do?

Did you make a selection prior to e-filing the amending return?  Whatever you chose will be what was done.  If you chose to have it withdrawn, it will be withdrawn.  However, if you chose to pay by check in the mail that is what you will need to do.

I chose electronic payment for the initial tax return, and didn't make any change for the amended return. Does that mean the balance will be electronically sent to the IRS? If not, how can I find out how the balance should be paid? 

Thanks for the answer in advance! 😊

Thanks! Then, I guess I can ignore the information in "What You Need to Mail?"
