Just filed my 2019 extension. After I hit send, realized it was incorrect. I now need to amend my extension and amount currently due. how do I amend?

I filed using Turbo Tax.

After you file

You cannot amend an extension form.  All that form does is give you extra time to file your documents.  It does not give you extra time to pay.  The estimated tax due has to be paid by July 15, 2020.  Just pay the correct amount by whatever means you plan to use, and enter the amount you paid into your tax return so that when you file the return the amount is credited to your final amount due (if any).

 

Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes  to enter the estimated tax you pay.

 

You have until October 15, 2020 to e-file your actual Form 1040 if you have an extension.

I don't believe you can amend or correct an extension once it's sent to the IRS.  If you owe taxes, you should just remit the estimated amounts using an estimated tax voucher, so that your payments are not late and to avoid underpayment penalties.
