You can look to see when you logged in to your account. The date you logged in to amend and printed might not be the same date that you took your amended return to a mailbox. Only you would know when you did that.
Turbotax has a new feature that tracks the dates, times, and approximate locations your account was accessed. You can log in and check this feature. Make sure you log in by typing the address in your web browser and check for the padlock icon that means you have a verified connection. Click Account Tools, then Security, then scroll down for access history.
The IRS has not been working on mailed returns until very recently---and an amended return can only be filed by mailing it in. Last week they finally began to accept e-filed amended 2019 returns. Under normal circumstances you would be able to see something about your mailed in Form 1040X after about three weeks, but that is not the case right now. The usual 4 months for processing an amended return is going to take longer. Sorry.

MAILED RETURNS
Per the IRS website IRS Operations During COVID-19: Mission-critical functions continue:
IRS operational status and alternatives
Processing Delays for Paper Tax Returns: Taxpayers should file electronically through their tax preparer, tax software provider, or IRS Free File.
We’re experiencing delays in processing paper tax returns due to limited staffing. If you already filed a paper return, we will process it in the order we received it.
Do not file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.
If you mail a tax return (or a payment) to the IRS, 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.
TurboTax will not know anything about your amended return, and nor will TT know that you put your 1040X in an envelope and took it to a mailbox. TurboTax does not get updates on mailed (or e-filed) returns.
When the IRS finally opens its mail and begins to process mailed returns you can check the status on the IRS site.
