How do I fix a standard deduction e-filing where I'll get better net Fed/State tax with itemized deductions?

How do I fix this? Fed return e-filed w std deduction; $3,200 Fed and $4 State taxes due. Fed tax check & State return/check not mailed as of 6Apr19.  Re-ran, itemizing I would owe $3,700 Fed but would get $1,000 State refund (thx to Fed $10K limit on mortgage deduction).  1. Do I send the original $3,200 & $4 checks and then file amended returns? 2. Since I know there will be a $3,700 Fed tax liability, do I send them that now and carry a $500 credit until I can send the amended returns? Or 3. Is there a better way to handle this that I don’t know about?
