Amended Tax Return (1040-X) - Waiting for refund after 16 weeks

It's already been 16 weeks since the IRS received my amended return. I have not received a refund yet. The status has not changed (still showing as "Received"). What should I do? Thanks.

According to this page, it typically takes 8-12 weeks but can take up to 16 weeks.

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
