Agreed. The IRS NEVER sends a direct deposit for an amended return. They only mail a check when you get a refund for an amended return. You received the refund for your original return--not the amended one. The IRS might have adjusted your refund for the new tax law.
Any refund still owed to you for the other W-2 you entered or the education credit will be coming later when they fully process the Form 1040X
Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return. During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns. Do not expect quick results from amending. When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check. They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns. You can watch for information here:
