conversation: User (dannyrgoode): "Hi,\n\nI'm amending my tax return for 2017 due to a mistake in claiming education credits. I want to pay them back but don't feel comfortable sending a check especially if it has my SSN on it. Can I make the payment online? And can I make this payment before mailing the 1040x? (ie. pay online how much I owe tonight, then take the paperwork to post office tomorrow)\n\nThanks!"
  Self: "Yes, the IRS credit/debit card processors accept 1040X payments. \n\nhttps://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-credit-or-debit-card"
  User (dannyrgoode): "Awesome. And it doesn’t matter when I pay right? I don’t have to wait for them to receive my 1040x, I can just pay right away?"
  Self: "Yes, you can pay now, then mail the form shortly after. I believe the only payment restriction is that the IRS does not accept checks of more than $100 million. For most people, that’s not really an issue. "
  User (dannyrgoode): "Yup not even close to that amount haha. Thanks so much for your help!"
