Need to cancel my payment method I re did my taxes and the amount is different

I'm not sure how far along you are in the process.

If you haven't filed yet, the process is easy.  Simply make the changes to your return.

As you go through the filing process, you can change your payment method.

If your return is Rejected, things can be a little easier

• You do not have to Amend the return.
• First correct whatever the return was rejected for
• Then make the changes as noted above.

If you have already filed and your file is Accepted the process is more complicated.

• If your return shows as ACCEPTED there is not much you can do to change the payment method.
• The IRS addresses this:
  • "Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method."
  • "Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling."
  • See Cancellations, errors and questions for more details.
• You will then also have to AMEND your tax return to make the changes you previously mentioned.

If you want to make changes to a tax return that has already been submitted and was accepted, you should follow these guidelines to amend your return.

• You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
• You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
• Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. 
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.
• You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
