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 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. They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns. You can watch for information here:

Ok we are talking almost a 8 months later and nobody knows nothing?
@Joecat1729 TurboTax does not get any information about your amended return. After you file a tax return it is all between you and the IRS. Only the IRS can give you information about your return.
