If I e-file a Federal Amendment with TurboTax, do I mail a check in with the voucher, or does TurboTax pay with my banking information that I supplied when I first filed?

Review the filing instructions for the amendment  AND  the 1040X itself  for your answer ... 

 

Look at the form 1040X …

Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.

If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:

On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return. If you paid nothing already then this line should be zero.

On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received.  If you have not received your refund yet then you need to wait for it.  If the refund changes from what you expected then this line must reflect that change.

Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR  the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.

 

 

If you have filed your federal tax return and it has been accepted by the IRS -

Just to clarify one point:

When you owe taxes to the IRS, state, or any other taxing authority, TurboTax does not under any circumstances and with no exceptions act as a middleman in that transaction in any way, shape, form or fashion.

If you put your credit card or banking information on your tax return for paying your taxes due, that information goes straight to the taxing authority. Turbotax does not, will not and can not use that banking information on  your tax return for anything.

I don't think this is true at all. I owed money on my federal taxes, and TurboTax allowed me to use my banking info to pay that tax. Now I owe more given the amendment, so I think it's perfectly reasonable to wonder if they are again providing that info to the IRS. Sending a check would then result in a double payment.

Efiling an amended return is relatively new but I can make a payment with the amended return in my professional program  so you should also be able to using the TT program.  However don't count on it so check the filing instructions that are in the PDF file  carefully  or  better yet simply make a payment online on the IRS site directly ... then there is no guessing ...  www.IRS.gov/pay
