You should never amend a return until your original return has been fully processed to avoid unnecessary delays.
You are correct that this will cause confusion. I would pay your original tax due, and then when the IRS processes your amendment, they will send you any refund due.
See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.
You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow three weeks after filing for it to show up.
