On an amended return there is no direct debit if you did not use direct debit on your original return.. Any taxes owed must be mailed in with a payment voucher (1040-V) or you can pay Federal taxes owed on the IRS website.

In the FILE tab you can choose to DD for the balance due ... save a PDF of the return and look at what you choose on the filing instruction page.
@fanfare In order to use direct debit on your amended return, you would have had to use direct debit on your original return. The poster did not say they used direct debit on their original return.
If you selected direct-debit when you originally filed, there's no need to send an additional payment by check; your direct debit applies even if you amended your return. Amended returns should not be mailed until after your original return has been processed by the IRS.
Also, if the IRS has not processed the original return yet, then there is no direct debit information for the amended return.
If you filed with direct debit information,
I'd suggest you pay separately only the penalty/interest amount.
IRS says penalty/interest should not be included on your 1040-X and I would expect TurboTax to follow that rule.
Thanks for all the great replies.
I had already e-filed the amended return when I learned that I didn't need to if the IRS already sent us a bill, but that makes sense.
We ended up logging into the IRS itself, and then paying through a payment provider directly.
