I just amended my tax return & we owe the IRS, before amended return we were getting a refund, live in Texas. Problem is that the page "Filing Instructions" shows address in Austin, TX but under Forms the address shows Charlotte, NC. Appears that TT might need to update this problem? Thanks.

If you are using the desktop version of the software, you may need to update the program to ensure the correct address is used.  

 

You can do this by selecting the Online menu at the top.  

Then select Check for Updates.

 

The address in Texas would be the correct one to use for your amended return.
