Can I mail in my amended tax return and pay the amount owed online?

[debra-winsor]

I have completed my 1040X and owe taxes based on my amendment.  I understand that I need to physically mail in the amended tax return, but am wanting to pay the amount owed online at www.irs.gov/payments.  Is that possible?

Yes, you can. When using IRS Direct pay at  www.irs.gov/payments then you can select "Amended Return" as the reason for the payment.
