I haven't had an update on my amended tax return its been over 21 days?

 

After you file

Have you already mailed the amended return? Amended returns have to be printed and mailed. They can't be e-filed per IRS regulation. It is recommended to wait until the IRS has accepted your initial return and you have received your federal refund before you amend the return. If you have done the amend steps and you need to get back in and print the return, the steps to do so can be found below. 

If you have not done the correct amend steps, the instructions can also be found here https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3402261
