To track the status of your Amended return, you can use this IRS tool: Where's My Amended Return?

Did you wait to amend until the first return was finished processing and you got the first refund or paid the tax due? Did you efile the amended return or do you need help filing it?

The amended return will only be the difference you get back or need to pay. You can confirm this by printing your amendment and looking at the 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 21 should be your additional refund. If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16 (but don't include any penalty on 1040 line 38). If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.
