It is not possible to get an amended return accepted by e-filing it if your original return was not e-filed successfully. It seems you need to check and see if your original return was accepted. If it was rejected, then you have no need to amend----you can make corrections to a rejected return and re-file it.
Did you e-file? Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”
When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say that your return was submitted. The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected. If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.
Check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:
