Did you mail the amended return? Amended returns are not "accepted" the way that e-filed returns are accepted.
After you print, sign and mail your amended return—1040X— to the IRS wait about 3 weeks and then you can begin checking on it at the IRS website. Be aware that it can take at least 3-4 months for an amended return to be fully processed (or sometimes even longer.)

It takes 3-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. When they send a refund, they mail you a check.
