Can't find the status of my refund for my Federal and State 2022 amended returns.

[fd402]

I sent in my 2022 Fed and CA return very early. It was accepted by both and I paid the IRS $1,772 and Calif FTB $278 by check. Both checks have cleared.  I then discovered I made mistakes on my original filing, and a few days ago filed amended returns with IRS and CA FTB by Turbo Tax.  According to Turbo Tax amended calculations, mistakes would result in me overpaying the IRS by $814 and getting a refund from Calif FTB of $344.  My question is this:  I tried accessing the "Where's my refund" webpage and it did not find any data for my return. How can I find out the status of both of may amended returns and how long will it take for me to receive the refunds I am owed?    Thanks in advance.

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return.  During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six to nine  months or more for many amended returns.  Do not expect quick results from amending.  When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check.
