When you amend a prior year return you ONLY use the app ... nothing will show online.
Now do you mean your return was never efiled and accepted ? Or did you mail in the return ? When you mail in the return TT is never told if the return was ever processed by the IRS ... it will always show as Printed or Mail in.
If you did not efile successfully OR mail in the return then you have nothing to amend. Make any corrections needed and print, ink sign and mail in the return. Ignore the 1040X in the program you are using and simply send the 1040 plus any forms/schedules as directed on the filing instructions printed with the return.
