I have been checking everyday since i makes my amended tax return and it is still not showing on the IRS website. I mailed it on August 12, 2020.
Thank you

The IRS was not processing any paper tax returns from several months due to the pandemic and limited staffing. They have only just recently started to process approximately 11 million paper returns in the order they have been received.
In a normal year it would take the IRS about 4 months to process the amended return. This is not a normal year so patience is needed. Use this IRS website for an amended return status - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return
Go to this IRS website for information - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue
We’re experiencing delays in processing paper tax returns due to limited staffing. If you already filed a paper return, we will process it in the order we received it.
Do not file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.
