The IRS says it can take up to 16 weeks or longer for them to process an amended return.  They say the processing time is the same for efiled and mailed amended returns.

 

You can monitor the status with this tool.  It can take up to 3 weeks after filing it for it to show up in the tool.

IRS has gone into collapse  mode.

They say they hope to clear the 2020 backlog by the end of 2022.

That leaves all the paper returns for 2021 to be cleared in 2023.
