A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:

When the IRS sent the letter, they provided a fax number and I faxed the forms to that number... I never mailed anything

Then you did not really "amend"---you provided more information to the IRS as requested.  You will not find information about that on the "where's my amended return" site.  Look on the normal IRS refund site:
