@Mquinn0222 This thread has become very confusing because so many different users have posted here. But it sounds like your frustration stems from wanting to know the status of a return you amended. If you e-filed an amended return and got an email from TurboTax that says the amended return was accepted----that information came from the IRS and TT just shared the news with you that your amended return was accepted.
But....you do not say how long ago you amended. It is taking the IRS months to process amended returns, so you should not expect quick results from an amended return, and should not even expect to see any information quickly on the IRS site about it. They are severely backlogged.
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:
