Rejected e-file

[MM1985]

I just received a message that my e-file was rejected but I already knew that and I had amended it now I don't know what to do because I have to answer back by the 20th

Can you provide more information? Your original file was accepted but your amendment was rejected?

Who do you have to answer back to by the 20th?

Well I e-filed.. I didn't fill it out right... So my job provides help with taxes.. so we amended it and he fixed my taxes and I mailed it in... And now I'm getting a message in my email from the IRS saying to answer back by the 20th basically if I don't want issues

The IRS will not email you. It is likely spam or phishing.

It might be easiest to set up an account with them. You can also use https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund to look at the processing of your original return and there is also a Where's My Amended Return.
