No it’s not an amended return. You didn’t click on amend, did you? Since the first efile was rejected then it wasn’t filed at all. You are still filing an original return. The IRS should Accept or Reject it the same time as the first one. Are you sure you efiled it again? Did you go all the way through the File tab, through the 3 steps and hit the big orange Transmit Returns Now button?
When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile. And check your spam folder for them.
When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. What does it say?
