Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You should wait until your original return has been fully processed.  This means if you sent in a payment, the IRS has processed the payment.  Once the payment has been processed, the information will transfer to your amended return when you start the amendment as long as you use the account you filed the original return with.  You can confirm this by reviewing line 16 on the 1040x.  Any additional balance due will be reported on line 20 of the 1040x.
