I received a W2C (corrected W2) from my company, I went through Turbo Taxes to update both Federal and State (California). For Federal return, I could e-file, but there wasn't a step to choose the payment metho, will it use the bank account that I entered in the original Tax filing? It says I need to send a check, that's fine, but in the PDF version I downloaded, it's:
Balance/Refund: Your return shows you have elected to pay your balance due of $XXX, by Direct Debit using the following information:
- Amount Withdrawn: $XXX.00
- Date of Withdrawal:

What you need to do: Your return shows a balance due of $XXX. Mail your completed Form 1040-V with included payment of $XXX made payable to United States Treasury.

So which one is the correct one? Should I mail a check? or wait for IRS take my money from back account?

Appreciate anyone can help.

the instructions for line 20 of 1040-X would seem to indicate direct debit is not possible

Line 20—Amount You Owe
See the “Amount you owe” section in your income tax return instructions or go to IRS.gov/Payments for payment options.

you can send a check with the amended return if you mail it or use the IRS Direct Pay

if you e-filed the original you should be able to e-file the amended return (2021 only)

if you mail the amended return use a method where you can track it. you don't get any confirmation that it was received and it can take the IRS 6 to 8 months to get to it.
