System showing incorrect e-filing status of amended returns

Back in May I efiled Federal, NY, and CT.  All returns were fully processed.   Earlier today, I amended all three 2020 returns today.  

 

Background:

  • The system instructed me that NY is a mandatory e-file state and it didn't seem that Federal & CT would be e-filed.  
  • I checked CT's website and CT doesn't seem accept electronically filed returns.  I couldn't find anything related to Federal.  
  • I printed Federal & CT for mailing and e-filed NY;
  • Soon after, I received an alert that Federal & NY were e-filed.  Then an hour later I received a note that the Federal amended return was accepted.  
  • Finally, I looked at the e-file status in Turbo tax (using the CD/Download version) and it noted that the Federal & CT returns were accepted; NY is pending.  

My questions:

  1. Why is it saying my CT return was accepted when the amendment wasn't e-filed?   Perhaps it's giving me the status of the original return. 
  2. How do I know for sure the Federal was accepted?  Now I'm afraid to mail it as the IRS will then have two copies if the amendment was indeed filed.
