I have e file my tax return on May 11th , Still shows it is in process.

I also notice I haven't fill up  the 1095-A ( For marketplace ), Is anybody know is it better if I wait for my refund first and see about their update and then decide about Amend  , Or is it better that I do Amend now ? 

Because according to Turbo Tax my Amend should be on Mail.

Thanks in advance.

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

 

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

 

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

 

Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

 

To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.
If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund

 

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions
If over 21 days since being Accepted by the IRS and the tax refund is still Processing you can call the IRS and speak with an IRS agent concerning your tax refund.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.

I had the same problem I filed mine on Jan 27th and I finally just got my return on May 28th. I don't know why it took so long I've been using Turbo Tax for 10 yrs. and never had a problem before. Everytime I checked my status it would say that it was still processing and all I got from the IRS were two letters in the mail telling me they needed 60 more days to review my return, I was getting so frustrated I didn't think it was gonna come at all but it eventually did so just hang in there it should be coming soon.

I was audited for whatever reason I sent everything that was needed and requested in to the irs thru my tax company that prepared my taxes and I haven't received anything.  Not even a letter saying they received it and I cant even call the number provided.  I am struggling fingerboard and the amount of the return could go along way its not fair.
