When did you mail it? Amended returns can only be mailed and can take 16 weeks to process. And they only mail checks for refunds. Since amended returns can't be efiled you do not get any confirmation or emails back.

After 3 weeks you can track an amended return. You can look up the Amended return 1040X status

Need to amend tax return

You cannot cancel or change or add anything on the return that you e-filed. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and add or change it and resend it. Click on Add a State to let you back into your return..

If the IRS accepts your return, then you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or paid the tax due. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return 1040X and mail it in. You cannot e-file an amended return. Meanwhile, DO NOT change anything on your return until you start the amended return. If you did change or add the missing info then take it out and put your return back to the way it was when you first filed it.
