Can you amend your tax return twice? Already amended mine to add w2's and need to amend again. Have yet to receive any info on my first amended forms being accepted.

Yes, you can file a second amended tax return.
You should wait until the first amendment is processed and accepted by the IRS before sending in the second one, just to make sure they are done in the proper order. Use https://www.irs.gov/Filing/Individuals/Amended-Returns-(Form-1040-X)/Wheres-My-Amended-Return-1 to track the first amendment.
To complete the second amendment you will need to manipulate your return by deleting the Form 1040X, which will leave you with a 1040 "original" return that includes the changes from the first amended return. Then, you will start the amend process over again to put in the information needed for the second amendment. When you start the second amendment the balance or refund due should be $0.

I tried this, but the refund monitor didn't reset to zero. In the first amended return, I got a refund of $360. I deleted the 1040X form from the first amended return as you suggest, and the refund monitor increased by $360. I saved the file and closed TurboTax. Then I reopened TurboTax, clicked the amend return button and selected the file I just saved. But the refund monitor didn't reset to zero. I went ahead and made the new changes. The refund monitor changed appropriately, but it was the total amount from the original return plus both amended returns, not the net amount from just the second amended return. The 1040X was blank. I would have to fill it in manually. TurboTax seems to understand it's an amended return, but the refund monitor doesn't reset to zero. Any suggestions?

You will probably need to enter all the prior refunds and/or tax due payments directly on the 1040X (and on state) using the Forms mode. I had to enter both a tax due I paid on the first original return AND a refund from the 1st amended return.
