You check the status of an amended tax return on this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return
It may take the IRS 6 months or longer before they start processing an amended tax return.
If it has been over 4 months since the amended tax return was filed then you can try calling the IRS for the status.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
