You did not say if this was a Traditional IRA that you received a tax deduction for of a Roth IRA that does not actually go on a tax return but might add to the "savers credit" if you qualify for that. If a Roth and no savers credit then you do not need to do anything. If Traditional then you must amend.
Amended returns can only be mailed. It is suggested that it be mailed certified with return receipt (or other tracking service) to verify that the IRS receives it.
See this TurboTax FAQ for detailed amend instructions:
