After you file

The IRS has a huge backlog of income tax returns and stimulus checks to process--by the millions.  They are not opening the mail right now, so even if they received your mailed Form 1040X, it is not top priority to them.  It may just be sitting in a bin.  Sorry.  In normal times you would be able to see something on the IRS site about three weeks after mailing your amended return; it would still take about four months for it to be fully processed.  Times are not normal, so do not expect your amended return to be processed soon.
