Turbo Tax will not have a status on your refund. If the IRS website says processing, this means they are working on it.

Did you mail in a Form 1040X--that is the only way to amend a tax return.

 

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:
