An amended return does not delay the refund from your original return. The IRS won't usually even start processing your amended return until well past the time for your original refund to be sent to you. However, it is always recommended that you not file your amended return until you have received the refund from your original return so that you can verify the refund on line 18 of your amended return is correct.
