Did you prepare a Form 1040X which you are going to print, sign and mail? That is the ONLY way to amend a tax return. Amended returns cannot be e-filed.
A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. 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.
Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
