TurboTax NEVER knows the status of your return after you file it, nor can TurboTax find out or intercede with the IRS for you. The IRS does not share any information with TurboTax after you file.
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:

And....NO..... You cannot use a 2020 1099R on your 2021 tax return.
Wait patiently for the backlogged IRS to process your amended return.
