I am making the assumption that by you stating that you paid retribution, you mean that you paid the balance due to the IRS from your original tax return. I am also assuming that after you filed an amended tax return you are now due a refund.
Amended returns normally take up to 20 weeks to process and you may be able to check the status on the IRS website.
