After you file

I would like to know as well, however I would take that person’s situation with a grain of salt. Typically filing a bonafide amended return with form1040X, the refund would be received via check in the mail, not direct deposit. 

I’m on about the same timeline as you, if yours shows as accepted, just keep swimming! An article I read reports they have made significant progress , but still have a couple million more to go in the mail backlog pile. The pandemic affected them as much as us. I don’t envy that situation at all.
