Will my refund come in mail after amended e-file says accepted

do not mail another copy. it could delay the refund. the refund check will come in the mail. be patient even e-filed amended returns can take more than 6 months to process.

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