What do you mean "filed an amendment?"  The only way to amend a tax return is to prepare a Form 1040X and mail it.  What did you do?

I went to the link in turbo tax where it says amend/change

And then did you print, sign, and mail a Form 1040X to the IRS?  What did it say for any tax due on it?

You will need to look at Form 1040X before mailing. Any additional tax owed will be included on line 20 of Form 1040X. Any additional refund will be listed on line 21 of Form 1040X.

Please view the (screenshot) below for reference.

Please click the link below for mailing instructions for Form 1040X.

You will still get the first refund or need to pay the original tax due.  Then the amended return is only for the difference you get back or owe.  In fact you should not even amend until the first return has fully processed and you get the first refund or your tax due payment has cleared.  

And make sure the original refund or tax paid shows up on the amended return.  You can confirm this by printing your amendment and looking at the 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 22 should be your additional refund.  If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16.  If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.

You have to include a check for a tax due when you mail the amended return.  Do not use any vouchers that may print out.  If you have a refund they will mail you a check.  They don’t do Direct Deposit for refunds.
