I filed an amendment after my return was accepted, my refund did it change. Am I supposed to refile for the amendment once I receive my refund?

Amended returns need to be printed and mailed into the IRS and your state. The IRS does not accepted e-file amended returns. You should not file your amended return until your original return has been processed and your refund received. Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they are processed as two separate returns.  

Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail.  It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them.   If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it.  If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return. You can check the status of your amended return by clicking here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/individuals/amended-returns-form-1040-x-/wheres-my-amended-return-1
