I have not received my original refund and I already have amend/change, I'm just trying to see if my refund be a lot longer?

You should not try to amend your return until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.  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 Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, using the Where's My Amended Return? online tool or by calling the toll-free telephone number 866-464-2050 three weeks after you file your amended return.

But i already amend before it was fully processed and i was given a seperate amount... So since i did that will my original refund be delay 3 extra weeks?

Did you mail the amended return?

The amended return will have no affect on the original refund.  Amended returns can take 4 months to process.

It gave me the option to fax so i faxed

Where did you see that?   I have never heard of being able to Fax an amended return and find no reference to that on the IRS website.

I found it on the back of my LTC 12C letter I recieved from the IRS. I had to fax my 8962 and my 1095-A form...

[macuser_22]

That Fax is only for the health forms that they asked for.  That is not an amended return if the 8962 & 1095-A is all that you sent.  

An amended return is a 1040X.

The missing 8962 & 1095-A  will delay the refund until the IRS processes those forms.

I see, thanks for clearing that up for me.
