Did you send in that Form 1040X before your original return was fully processed? If so, you may have caused confusion that will delay the processing even more.

All you can do is wait to see what the IRS does with your return at this point. For your original return you can look at the IRS refund site (if you were supposed to get a refund):
Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

As for your amended return:
When the IRS finally opens its mail and begins to process mailed returns you can check the status on the IRS site.
